Anatomy

We were tasked with making a 3-D skeleton in anatomy. We had to work together in groups to make a skeleton and document the process. We began by taking the measurements from a 6 foot skeleton and calculating it to a 1/3 scale. We took those measurements and 3-D printed the bones for assembly. We printed the skull, vertebral column, collarbone, shoulder blades, rib cage, pelvic girdle and the bones of the hands, arms, feet, and legs.  In order to insure our skeleton was anatomically correct, we had to learn about the parts of the skull and how axial and appendicular parts of the skeleton connect. Throughout the entire project we documented the trials and progress of the skeleton on our website.
