Figure 1: 3D print of a dissected thorax with neck, head and the proximal upper extremities made by the company “Erler-Zimmer GmbH & Co.KG”. Large scale (1:1) 3D printed models, like the one shown above, are scanned copies of dissected cadavers which were digitalized and then processed for printing. Such 3D prints can depict the topography very well. While they are light, a major limitation, is that they cannot be modified. In addition to this 3D print (MP 1250), a model of the upper orbit (MP 1675), the female hip (MP 1785), and the lower extremities (MP 1810) were purchased.
