“…The use of three-dimensional (3D) anatomical models is ubiquitous in medical education. Medical educators rely on models to depict anatomical structures in a more efficient format than the cadaver [1][2][3] or when conforming to institutional constraints or social mores [4][5][6]. Anatomical models allow the user to move away from the clutter, discomfort, and complexity of a cadaveric dissection and can clarify characteristics or functions of an anatomical structure that are not readily apparent in situ.…”

The use of three-dimensional (3D) anatomical models is ubiquitous in medical education. Medical educators rely on models to depict anatomical structures in a more efficient format than the cadaver; to move away from the clutter, discomfort, and complexity of a cadaveric dissection; and to clarify characteristics or functions of an anatomical structure that are not readily apparent in situ. Here, we review the use of physical anatomical models in teaching anatomical sciences in medical education. In addition, we examine the production of digital 3D models for interactive media and the production of physical models of anatomical structures using additive manufacturing (3D printing) methods. Finally, we examine methods of implementation of these visual and tactile resources in medical curricula. This review is intended as a primer for educators contemplating on the use of these learning objects in medical education.

“…El Museo de La Specola -en origen Real Gabinetto di Física e di Storia Naturale -alcanzó un enorme prestigio; inaugurado, en 1775, bajo la dirección de Felice Fontana, su colección de ceras anatómicas atrajo a ilustres visitantes y provocó una gran demanda de copias [13]. En Viena, el Josephinum Museum alberga la mayor colección de modelos obstétricos de cera, realizados en el taller florentino, entre 1784 y 1788 [14][15].…”

The three-dimensional models of wax belonging to the scientific heritage of the Complutense University of Madrid are a rare and extraordinary material that deserves to be preserved because it has great relevance to understand how surgeons and anatomists found formulas of visual construction that made possible the diffusion of his knowledge about the human body. In the present investigation, an anatomical wax model of the 18th century, with a remarkable degree of structural deterioration and weakness, has been restored, testing a new volumetric loss reconstruction methodology based on photogrammetric digitization of the sculpture, 3D modelling of the lost pieces and 3D printing of their moulds to obtain from them the final copies in waxy material. Due to this methodology, it has been possible to reduce the handling of the figure during the restoration process and the risk of accidental deterioration has been minimized.
