The past decade has seen significant advances in 3D technologies and their adoption in medical practice. These tools serve a broad range of purposes, from research applications to practical clinical use.

During the workshop, participants will be introduced to the principles and practical applications of 3D scanning in anatomical research. They will gain an overview of how 3D scanning is performed, the types of technologies and equipment commonly used, and the range of anatomical structures and research questions it can support. The session will outline workflow steps—from specimen preparation and scanning to data processing and model generation—along with a discussion of equipment options and typical cost ranges.

Participants will also engage in a hands-on component, allowing them to perform a 3D scan themselves and explore the strengths and limitations of different scanning approaches. The workshop is designed for students and researchers seeking to integrate additional modern tools and models into anatomical study and teaching.
