Summary
A specialist who creates models faithfully reproducing the anatomical structure of the human body, from production to painting and assembly.
Description
Human Body Model Craftsmen are artisans who produce human anatomy models used in medical institutions, educational institutions, and museums. Based on anatomical knowledge, they create prototypes using clay or wax, handle molding (mold creation), resin casting, painting, and assembly processes throughout. They use materials such as epoxy resin or silicone, pay attention to colors and textures, and finish accurate and durable models. In recent years, production methods incorporating 3D scanning and 3D printers have also been introduced.
Future Outlook
Demand for physical models in medical education and museum exhibitions remains stable, and the introduction of 3D printer technology is expected to expand the market by facilitating small-lot production and customization.
