• 3D printer OEMStratasyshas introduced a dental anatomical model preset designed for simulation-based education and clinical training. • The multi-material 3D printed solution offers a synthetic alternative to cadavers, animal specimens, and stone models, addressing cost, variability, and ethical concerns that continue to affect traditional training environments. • As dental education increasingly incorporates digital workflows, institutions are seeking standardized models that provide realistic anatomy without the storage, biohazard, and approval requirements associated with biological materials. • The new preset is positioned to support consistent, scalable hands-on learning across classrooms, clinics, and product demonstrations. • Multi-Material Technology for Anatomical Accuracy The preset uses predefined material parameters to control how multiple polymers are blended and distributed within a single print. • This approach enables the production of dental and musculoskeletal structures that replicate the biomechanical response of bone, teeth, nerves, and soft tissue while maintaining repeatability across batches.
