[3D Printing News] Draw Muscle Lines by Hand, A New Way to Learn Anatomy!

Erin Harmon, a biology professor at the College of Saint Rose (SCA) in Albany, New York, teaches anatomy and physiology. Students must be familiar with at least 40 to 50 muscle distributions and textures. Due to the complex content, Professor Harmon once said: "The most difficult thing for students is not academic knowledge, but how to maintain interest and passion."

Erin once had students draw muscle distribution on paper, but due to the flat nature of paper, it was impossible to study every angle of bones and muscles. She also used colored tape and clay on 3D life-sized human skeleton models, but the materials were inconvenient to use and also had the potential to damage the models, so the results were not ideal.

3D Doodle Beyond Imagination

"This learning method makes rigid anatomy so much fun!" "This is the most memorable biology anatomy class I've ever taken! I hope there will be more 3D printing pens in the future, giving us more opportunities to operate them ourselves!" Erin's students said.

By using the "3Doodler Create Printing Pen" with PLA filament, students can directly draw the distribution and growth direction of muscles. Because PLA filament has good adhesion to 3D human skeleton models, different layers of muscles can be distinguished and superimposed by changing the color of the filament. Also, because desired line distributions can be drawn at will, the state of muscle contraction can be clearly studied.

In addition, it is easy to restore the model to its original state after operation, making it convenient for repeated use of the skeletal model. This practical and innovative method can greatly enhance learning effectiveness!

Inexpensive Materials, Easy to Get Started

Some students were initially worried that they lacked artistic talent and might not be able to use a 3D printing pen proficiently, but after one use, they found that the 3D pen was very easy to use and master.

"After using the 3Doodler Create printing pen for the first year, I only need to regularly replenish low-cost filament each year, and the usage is very stable," Erin emphasized. The operation process is as fun as doodling, and visual memory can effectively deepen impressions. This is a very helpful learning method for students in sports, exercise science, physics, or professional medical fields!
