Our Planning Process

Copy of Skeletal System Project - Planning Document 1

Idea Development

The first step of our project was to plan out our first few bones, which were our vertebrae, Skull, and ribs. We did this by mapping out our materials and how we were to make each part. We used this to construct our Axial skeleton.

Creative Process

For many of the bones we constructed, we did so by 3D printing. First, we had to find a file of the bones we wanted by user Tinkercad or other sites. Then we downloaded the file into these little cards that we put into the 3D printer. We did these for many of the smaller bones, like phalanges, metacarpals/metatarsals, and the scull. This picture is from when we were printing out the skull. Below are labeled pictures of the making of the arms and lower portion of the skeleton.

Patellas

The Patellas were made with clay and we got the round shape by molding it on our fingers.

Arm

The arms are made of aluminum foil with clay wrapped around them.

Leg/ Tibia & Fibula

The legs were made of aluminum foil with clay wrapped around them.

Skull connected to ribs, vertebrae, and pelvic girdle

Our skull, ribs, spine, and pelvic girdle were 3D printed. We used the 3D printing software UltiMaker Cura.
