Anatomy is considered one of the cornerstones of medical curricula. Thanks to the modernization and technological developments in medical education, many innovations have been added to traditional learning tools in anatomy education,theone of most important of which is three-dimensional (3D) printed models. Determining the production properties of 3D printed dmodelsalso an the perceptions of students about these models has become increasingly important. Hence, this study aimed to produce 3Dboneprinted models for use in undergraduate anatomy practical education and to determine students' perceptions about them. Using g 3D printin technology, highly accurate 3D printed bone models were produced simply, economically and quickly. After the 3D models dwerein use anatomy practical education, 16-item survey (five-point Likert scale, 1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree) was performedtoyear-1 undergraduate two group of students (students of Faculty of Dentistry and Faculty of Health Sciences). Survey resultsthat showed3D printed bone models were well adopted by undergraduate students in anatomy practical education. In addition, for all itemsurvey,ofnos significant statistical difference was found between both student groups (P>0.05). Our study suggests that 3D printingtechnologyis useful to aid to anatomy practices and provides teaching tools for undergraduate students from different departmentsginanatomy. learnin
