Three-dimensional (3D) scanning and printing can contribute to the area of Veterinary Anatomy, producing anatomical models that can be used in teaching. The objective of this project was to apply the 3D digitalization and printing t o oduce models of the canine stomach, and make these models available as an alternative tool of study in the practical classes of veter inary anatomy. The stomachs of dogs were digitized and printed in 3D models. Anatomical aspects were easily identifies in the models as compared with stomach original. The results of this project clearly demonstrated that the digitalization and 3D printing from t he dog stomach come to strongly contribute to the teaching of veterinary anatomy, currently playing an important role by producing rep licas which present desirable anatomical characteristics from organ.
