Problem(& definition statement):<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

There is a lack of affordable, anatomically detailed, physical musculoskeletal models that clearly demonstrate deep and superficial muscle layers and ligaments in the anatomical position and naming.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

We are solving this problem for people who are independent anatomy learners, like art students learning anatomy or anatomy students that don\u2019t have immediate access to these physical models(or a cadaver lab).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I have done research on the price of physical models, their features and their drawbacks. I have also done research on resin printing services, resin printers, and resins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For physical models, here are a few of them, and their features and drawbacks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Axis Scientific Miniature Human Muscular Figure Anatomy Model<\/a>: Around $160 USD, not bad price point but also no naming, and not in anatomical position nor is there naming.<\/p>\n<\/div>

SOMSO Male Muscle Figure AS1<\/a>: $5500-6000USD based on seller. Detachable muscles, also shows viscera after removing some parts. Very large, around 1\/2 natural size, but not in anatomical position nor is there naming.
<\/p>\n<\/div>

3B Scientific 1\/3 Life-Size Human Muscle Figure, 2 part<\/a>: $942 USD. Removable abdominal area, but not in anatomical position and without naming. There are other more expensive models with more parts but still the same 2 problems arise.
<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Muscular Figure 1\/3 Natural Size Erler Zimmer B90<\/a>: Around $368 USD. Arms are removable, and there is one superficial and deep side. Not in anatomical position, and no naming either. Not far from the problem statement.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

For resin printing services, I was looking for a dark gray model, and I would either have it multicoloured with black for names and fiber direction, or I would paint on black myself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
