Additive manufacturing is a production principle that can potentially transform the two-dimensional teaching process from CT to three-dimensional images, increasing student interest and tactile appreciation. Anatomy taught in universities, traditionally using cadavers, has undergone changes in recent years in search of active methodologies capable of implementing technological solutions in teaching and reducing the use of cadaveric anatomical specimens that need care and incur high maintenance costs. One of the most complex structures is the heart, a contractile pump that propels oxygenated blood to the entire body through the cardiovascular system. Given the scarcity of research that creates cardiac biomodels with a protocol, the aim of this study was to use a protocol reproducible in other cardiac models applying Materialise Mimics software to select regions of interest and 3D rendering. A Beagle heart specimen was printed in resin using the photopolymerization 3D printing methodology to exemplify the use of the proposed protocol.
