Our Model

Born of a need for detailed and medically accurate 3D anatomical resources, we created our model from CT scans of a donated full human body. Structures such as muscles, vessels, nerves, and organs were constructed using real human data, including from the Visible Human Project.

First, our in-house anatomy team digitally outlined every anatomical structure on the images by hand. The outlines were then used to create a 3D wireframe model of each anatomical component, ensuring the shape, position, and relationships of each structure were accurate and aligned with real data. Our in-house anatomists prepared extensive background research to maintain every single detail, including structures difficult to clearly capture from the original imaging data.

Finally, with our expert graphics team, we created textures and colors to complete the model. Built with this level of detail, it can be tailored to accommodate the requirements and knowledge levels of different users, from students and patients to academia, practitioners, and industry professionals. Even after more than 30 years, we continually refine the quality of our 3D models to maintain this high standard.
