One of our most popular collections due to the broad range of applications, this Skeletal System will impress you.
Zygote's Solid 3D Male Skeleton is perfect for:
The Zygote Solid 3D Skeleton Model sets a new benchmark for solid human anatomy. It is perfect for orthopedic design, animation, marketing renders, or finite element analysis. It was developed from CT scans of a 50th percentile male, and was carefully modeled to retain subtle anatomical nuances unique to specific bones. The skeleton is a solid assembly of individual bones, intervertebral discs, and teeth, making selection and manipulation of individual components simple and straightforward.
The Zygote Solid Skeleton model has a high level of geometric detail while efficiently maintaining anatomical fidelity throughout the model. An example of the great improvements in this version of the solid skeleton is the skull; which includes all major foramina, an accurate interior to the cranium, and each sinus cavity.

Zygote's Solid 3D Anatomy has set the standard in CAD and Simulation for over a decade.
"Zygote's anatomy products are a core element in most of the projects we are involved with, none more so than DK's The Complete Human Body where they take center stage in the book's amazing Anatomy Atlas.
Rajeev Doshi / CEO - Medi-Mation
Medi-Mation has been working with Zygote's anatomical models since they were first launched--it's been a pleasure to see the assets develop in detail and accuracy over time. Compared to other commercially available products, Zygote's models are far cleaner and more detailed, making them wonderful assets from which to build illustrations and animation. We look forward to seeing where future iterations will take them.
For The Complete Human Body, Medi-Mation required a highly detailed and clean set of models. These formed the basis of the illustrations for the book, which explores every aspect of the body in incredible detail. Some views are 80 percent life-size. The clear, sensible labeling of assets and clean geometry allowed us to divide the model and add even more detail without any problems, even with all anatomy layers loaded in at the same time.
Zygote's model sets saved us a huge amount of time and effort, making complex and high profile projects such as The Complete Human Body feasible in terms of both production and budget."
The skeleton is created entirely from CT scans of one 50th percentile individual as detailed below. High fidelity geometries detail major features of each bone including fossae, foramina, tubercles and tuberosities. Each bone is a separate part, labeled with conventional nomenclature. The skeleton is symmetrical with the scan subject's data being mirrored about the central axis. Cortical and cancellous bone tissue layers are licensed separately and available for select bones upon request.
Since the scan posture was recumbent, adjustments were made to alter the posture of the skeleton to standing. Careful attention was paid to preserve bone shape, articulations and the spatial relationships between bones. Standing Cyber scan data of the CT scan subject were taken for correct standing posture and external landmarks were used to adjust the posture from recumbent posture to standing.
Included in this collection are the intervertebral discs.
