The role of three-dimensional printed models of skull in anatomy education: a randomized controlled trail
Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) printed models represent educational tools of high quality compared with traditional teaching aids. Colored skull models were produced by 3D printing technology. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted to compare the learning efficiency of 3D printed skulls...
