3D Printing of Bones

Year 10 Science students have been learning about Anatomy and joints this week. As part of their studies, Mr Seddon has created models of bones using the 3D printer. This students will then used a variety of materials including play dough and pipe cleaners to add cartilage, ligaments and muscles to the models. The models are made from PLA plastic and can take several hours to print.
