Abstract

This study presents a biomimetic approach for developing scalable 3D printable models of a California sea lion pelvis using DICOM images derived from CT and MRI scans. The images were processed using Simpleware ScanIP software to create accurate and detailed representations of the targeted anatomy. The resulting models were then modified and optimized for 3D printing. The motivation behind this research is to provide a realistic and cost-effective alternative to traditional training methods for veterinary blood collection. The proposed work has the potential to enhance veterinary education and training, improving the quality of care provided to animal patients
