The purpose of this pedagogical practice was to evaluate the feasibility, cost-effectiveness, and educational value of three-dimensional (3D) printed anatomical models in the teaching of human anatomy. Advances in medical imaging and 3D printing have enabled the conversion of CT and MRI data into physical models, offering new opportunities to enhance spatial understanding, tactile learning, and student engagement beyond traditional two-dimensional resources [1–4].
