Studies in English, Portuguese and Spanish were searched in MEDLINE, Scopus, ERIC, LILACS, and SciELO, initially resulting in a total of 875 identified articles, from which 102 were included in the analysis. This systematic review presents the technological means for teaching and learning about human anatomy developed and applied in medical courses in the last ten years, besides the infrastructure necessary to use them. However, information about many of these instruments and resources is not available to anatomy teachers. Consequently, new technologies were created, and those already been developed started to be better explored. The consolidation of technology as an alternative strategy to cadaveric dissection for teaching anatomy in medical courses was accelerated by the recent Covid-19 pandemic, which caused the need for social distance policies and the closure of laboratories and classrooms. The developed methodology can be used to create new models from scratch, which can be used will find implementation in different medical and scientific fields-simulation processes, anthropology, 3D printing, bioprinting, and education. In total, 28 models have been optimized and printed. In its turn, radiological data have been obtained from the “New Mexico Decedent Image Database”. For 3D printing, the Ultimaker 5S 3D printer along with PLA material was used.

In this study, only free and cross-platform software from widely available internet sources has been used-“Meshmixer”, “3D Slicer”, and “Meshlab”. The study aimed to develop a detailed methodology for the creation of anatomically correct and optimized models for 3D printing from radiological data using only free and widely available software. Visualization along with 3D printing have already found their implementation in different medical fields in Pauls Stradiņš Clinical University Hospital, and Rīga Stradiņš University, where models are being used for prosthetic manufacturing, surgery planning, simulation of procedures, and student education. Educational institutions in several countries state that the education sector should be modernized to ensure a contemporary, individualized, and more open learning process by introducing and developing advance digital solutions and learning tools.
