Digital anatomy is an emerging discipline that leverages digital technologies to study and model the human body in three dimensions. It involves the use of advanced techniques such as 3D reconstruction, virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) to create highly detailed and interactive representations of anatomical structures.
Digital anatomy is revolutionizing the way anatomy is taught and learned by providing interactive 3D models that allow students to visualize and manipulate anatomical structures. These models can be used to plan complex surgical procedures by allowing surgeons to visualize the patient's unique anatomy and simulate the surgery beforehand, and for student training as well.
The Stratasys Digital Anatomy Creator (DAC) software enables the creation of highly realistic 3D printed medical models. It is an extension of the GrabCAD Digital Anatomy 3D printing platform, designed for advanced users who are looking to expand their capabilities in personalized medicine. Key capabilities of the software include:
The Stratasys Digital Anatomy Creator software empowers users to push the boundaries of functional medical modelling. It allows for the creation of highly customized and realistic models by controlling material properties slice-by-slice, enabling the precise reproduction of patient anatomy. Additionally, the software enables the calibration of digital materials to meet specific requirements, facilitating the creation of complex anatomical structures. This innovative tool also opens up new avenues for research, enabling the creation, replication, and sharing of patient-specific anatomical models, and allowing for repeatable and controlled studies that improve outcomes and facilitate knowledge sharing.
