Abstract:

Objective To use 3ds Max software to produce inner ear model, and then using the fused deposition model 3D printer to print the inner ear model. Methods In the first, the inner ear model was constructed by using 3ds Max software to build the inner ear model by Repetier-Host software, and then the 3D software was used to print the model. Results Using 3ds Max software to produce the inner ear model can be used to print the inner ear anatomy model by fusing the 3D printer.  Conclusion The human anatomy model can be successfully printed out by combining the 3dsMax technology with the fused deposition type 3D printer for human anatomy model.

Key words: Anatomy teaching, 3D printing technology, 3D model of inner ear
