  • Labeling models with correct anatomical terminology.
  • Conversion of OBJ files to STL files.
  • Operation of resin and filament 3D printers.
• Evaluation of 3D Anatomical Models.
• Distribution, testing and evaluation of models to users in anatomy classrooms.
• Create surveys and collect feedback.
• Management of 3D Digital Anatomy Assets.
• Manage the MHA Sketchfab account, online OER anatomy HUB of digital assets, and database of MHA educational OER assets. Manage OER website and associated databases.
• Leadership of Instructional Workshops.
• Hold training workshops and demos for students and/or teachers on 3D printing and VR for anatomy education.
• Create user guides for the 3D printers and VR stations.
• Supervision of Student Interns.
• Train and supervise one high school intern and one undergraduate work study student in the 3D printing lab on workflow for digitizing and printing organs.
• Assistance in Lab Maintenance.
• Maintain 3D scanning equipment, 3D printers, and 3D modeling lab. Keep lab organized and clean.

Work Location:
