"Our goal is to provide our customers with the ability to create even more realistic simulation experiences,” says Ido Bitan, Director of Product Management at Stratasys. "With Soft Visual Anatomy models, our customers can do more than print full-color, rigid, detailed anatomical structures. They can print models that enable more realistic interaction that are flexible and feel soft to the touch. We are pushing the boundaries of 3D printed anatomical model applications that are more immersive, more realistic, and more impactful for learning and demonstration."
From heart and brain structures to skin and soft tissue, the Soft Visual Anatomy Family allows users to create multi-color anatomical models that offer visual clarity and accurate structural details combined with soft, flexible materials.
These models are ideal for:
The Soft Visual Anatomy Family supports a wide range of anatomies and applications, with presets designed specifically for visually enhanced, soft-to-the-touch models. The Digital Anatomy Creator™ software allows users to customize the available presets to meet specific training or demonstration goals by controlling digital material creation, implementing internal noise functions, layers, and structures.
By combining TissueMatrix™ with Agilus-based color materials (such as Agilus30 Cyan™, Magenta™, Yellow™, or White™), users can generate soft and colorful custom presets that support a wide range of anatomical structures tailored to their unique needs.
"Customization is key," says Bitan. "This isn't a one-size-fits-all solution. The Digital Anatomy Creator gives users the power to design models that align with their exact needs. The combination of color, flexibility and softness helps users not only see anatomy but feel it."
This new family complements the biomechanically accurate applications that have made the Digital Anatomy Printer a leading solution for surgical simulation and device validation. As a distinct offering, it expands the printer's versatility by addressing visual and hands-on learning applications where enhanced realism and engagement are the primary goals.
