The article examines the application of additive technologies, particularly FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D printing, for the production of educational models of human skeleton bones in the context of teaching normal human anatomy. The possibilities of using printed models for theoretical preparation and practical training of students in medical and physiotherapy specialties are analyzed. The advantages of 3D-printed bone models for organizing the educational process, practical classes, and examination assessment are identified. A promising direction for using such models to train search groups engaged in the search and identification of fallen soldiers is separately highlighted. It is substantiated that training such groups using realistic anatomical models is a critically important humanitarian task that contributes to preserving human dignity and national memory. Specific examples of implemented educational sets and prospects for implementing the technology in domestic education and humanitarian activities are presented.
