Service Overview

Make learning more engaging and more effective. 3D printed models help students grasp difficult concepts because they can literally handle them and look at them from every side. 3D printed anatomical models have changed how anatomy is taught. Students and doctors can hold an accurate replica of an organ or a bone, which makes complex anatomical relationships far easier to grasp. 3D printed models of teeth are an excellent aid for students and practitioners alike, making cases and planned procedures easier to picture and to explain. Our models are strictly for demonstration and teaching.

  • Difficult subjects visualised and understood better
  • More student interest and engagement in class
  • Safe, durable models built for handling (PLA, PETG)
  • Any model at all can be made to order
  • Accurate, detailed models from CT or MRI data
  • A clear aid for planning surgery and for talking to patients
  • An affordable alternative to expensive official models
  • Fast delivery for teaching or the surgery

01  what we offer

Learning you can touch

Turn abstract ideas into things students can hold

We work with teachers and lecturers on aids that match their needs and their syllabus exactly. A model of the human heart, a molecule, a historic building, a mathematical concept — we can make it.

Our models are printed in safe, durable materials such as PLA and PETG, which stand up to daily use in a classroom. Printing in several colours is available where it makes the point clearer.

Experience

Making aids for primary, secondary and higher education

  • Biology and chemistry models

    Cells, organs, skeletons, molecules and chemical structures.

  • Physics and engineering aids

    Working models of simple machines, engines or planetary systems.

  • History and geography models

    Replica artefacts, models of historic buildings, topographic maps.

  • Mathematical and geometric models

    Fractals, geometric solids and mathematical functions made visible.

  • Bone and joint models

    Fractures, joint replacements or particular bone structures printed.

  • Organ models

    Hearts, kidneys, livers and other organs for studying pathology.

  • Pre-operative planning

    Models of specific cases for rehearsing and planning surgical procedures.

  • Study models of dental arches

    Accurate models for students to practise on and to study anomalies.

  • Demonstration models for patients

    Models showing the state before and after a procedure — an implant, braces.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions about this service

Ask us something else
  • Q1

    Are your models sterile, or certified for use in surgery?

    No. They are intended solely for education and demonstration. They are not sterile, they are not medical devices, and they must not be used in the surgical field or in contact with a patient.

  • Q2

    Are your dental models certified for use in the mouth?

    No, and this matters. They are printed in ordinary PLA and are intended solely for demonstration, study and visualisation. They are not biocompatible and must not be used in the mouth or in contact with a patient.

  • Q3

    Are the materials you print in safe for children?

    Yes. For teaching aids we mostly use PLA, which is made from corn starch and is biodegradable and non-toxic. Where more durability is needed we use PETG, also considered a safe material.

  • Q4

    Can you print a model we found online, on Thingiverse for instance?

    Certainly. If you have found a suitable model in one of the public libraries, send us the link or the file and we will print it. Do check that the model's licence permits that use.

  • Q5

    We need a set of 20 cell models for the school. Do you offer volume discounts?

    Yes — for schools and educational institutions we offer individual pricing and volume discounts. Get in touch with what you need and we will put together an offer.

  • Q6

    We would like to show students how 3D printing works. Could we arrange a visit or a workshop?

    We do not currently offer visits or workshops at our premises, but we are glad to provide material, or to film the production of your particular aids so you can use the video in class.

  • Q7

    How durable are the printed models? Will they survive students' hands?

    They are surprisingly tough. PLA is hard and strong. If you expect rougher handling or drops, we suggest PETG, which is more resilient and less brittle. For maximum durability we can also adjust the internal structure of the model.

  • Q8

    I am a doctor with anonymised CT data from a patient. Can you print a model from it?

    Yes, that is exactly what we do. From raw data (DICOM, for instance) we can segment the tissue you need — bone, organ — and produce a printable file (.STL). That work is charged at €26/hour.

  • Q9

    How accurate are the models compared with reality?

    Printed from good CT or MRI data, a model is dimensionally very accurate, to within tenths of a millimetre, so it gives a genuine sense of the size and shape of the structures.

  • Q10

    Can you print a model in different colours to distinguish the tissues?

    We print single-colour models as standard. It is possible, though, to split the model into parts — a tumour and the surrounding tissue, say — print each in a different colour and assemble them properly into one piece.

  • Q11

    I have intraoral scanner data as .STL. Can you print a model from it?

    Yes, exactly. .STL or .OBJ files are ideal source material. Send us the file and we will turn it into a physical model.

  • Q12

    Which material do you use, and why?

    For dental models we use PLA as standard, in a neutral colour — white, grey, beige. PLA renders detail beautifully, is strong and is affordable, which is ideal for study and demonstration models.
