3D printable deer head and neck model
Applications
- 3D model for CWD education and training
Technology Overview
Researchers at Minnesota Center for Prion Research and Outreach (MNPRO™) have developed a 3D head and neck model of a white-tailed deer. Generated using high resolution CT scan images, this 3D model is an anatomically accurate representation of a white-tailed deer with a focus on the skeleton, salivary glands, medial retropharyngeal lymph nodes, and brainstem. This realistic deer head can be used to assist in training individuals to collect samples for chronic wasting disease (CWD) diagnostic testing. Utility exists for multiple national and state-level agencies as well as educational institutions. This head and neck model will serve as an option to compliment the use of fresh tissue, since the model
- is more accessible and reusable (does not require tissue disposal and clean up, does not decompose),
- provides easy to see structures, and
- facilitates better engagement with the audience during training.
Versions
- Version 1: Design files for fully 3D printable model. Medial retropharyngeal lymph nodes are accessible and removable.
- Version 2: Design files for fully 3D printable model with detachable neck. Brainstem and medial retropharyngeal lymph nodes are accessible and removable.
