The University of Michigan BlueLink project provides expert reviewed and produced anatomical resources, specializing in cadaveric multimedia and curricular materials. BlueLink has begun developing a library of virtual (3D) resources. Using a Shining 3D EinScan‐Pro structured light scanner, osteologic and plastinated specimens are digitized and a 3D scan is produced within EinScan software. Initial scans focus on capturing the gross 3D details of the whole specimen. Once the scan is complete a combination of Meshmixer, Maya, and Blender are used to clean the models and finalize them both structurally and aesthetically. Sketchfab serves as our primary tool for distributing and annotating models. We provide all finalized models as free resources on Sketchfab, which provides an excellent platform to embed resources within our existing BlueLink website.
