Our first model was based on scans taken of Norman—a gentle, cooperative canine who played a key role in bringing this innovation to life.
We used these high-resolution scans throughout our research and development process to ensure that every anatomical detail was captured with accuracy and care. From the alignment of the teeth to the structure of the jaw and soft tissues, Norman helped us build a model that feels real, responds realistically, and replicates the clinical experience of working with a live patient.
The conceptual modelling phase was conducted using computer-based techniques to ensure precise anatomical replication. This virtual modelling enabled the refinement of anatomical details, facilitating the development of a functional and realistic anatomic model before physical fabrication process began.
Futurum Animal Biotech's model replicates the canine oral anatomy in remarkable detail, offering a lifelike, reusable alternative to traditional cadaver-based learning. It allows veterinary professionals to practise:
