NecropSynth announced that they are beginning production of 3d designed and printed, macroscopically accurate, anatomical models for scientific and education purposes with the ultimate goal being to reduce the number of animals sacrificed in biological testing.

“In essence we, as a society, have moved beyond the necessity to kill our most basic fellow inhabitants to educate our young,” says Bart Taylor of NecroSynth. “Since before the beginning of recorded history, we have been gathering information on animals for many purposes. Today we have them mapped out down to their most basic molecular building blocks. With the rise of 3D printing, we have the ability to synthesize from that immense pool of knowledge a model so complete that it can exceed what can be done with a standard, preserved organic sample.”
