Our process starts with CT and photogrammetry scans to avoid the uncanny valley effect. We prioritize learning objectives and functionality. To keep costs down, we don’t ask “how real can we make it?” but rather, “how real is real enough?”

Our design is iterative: we gather feedback from clinicians and simulation technicians, implement changes (usually in just a few weeks), and continually refine the models.

We use high-quality, repair-friendly silicone throughout, and every part is modular—a bit like Lego—allowing hand replacement without tools. Plus, everything can be easily washed under the sink with soap.
