Over the past decade, 3D printing has become increasingly accessible and cost-effective, offering systems and materials suitable for home use. 3D printing is a technology that streamlines production by translating computer-generated models into physical objects, layer by layer. In comparison to other tissue engineering and rapid prototyping methods, 3D printing boasts numerous advantages, such as exceptional precision, rapid production, cost-effectiveness, and seamless integration. Utilizing 3D models can significantly enhance the comprehension of intricate structures for medical professionals and students alike. Common materials used in 3D printing include robust nylon, aluminum, gypsum, textile components, polylactic acid, and resin. Among these, photosensitive resin stands out, as it enables the creation of higher-quality, more intricate structures that closely resemble real tissues, offering a smoother finish devoid of visible raw material textures.
This study's primary objective was to assess the suitability of tissues produced by a 3D resin printer in anatomy education, with the aim of enhancing hands-on training through direct manipulation of fractured bone models.

Inclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria
Participants will undergo a 2-hour training session, consisting of 60 minutes of theory and 60 minutes of practice. The theoretical lesson, supported by 2D images illustrating wrist anatomy, types of fractures, and rehabilitation based on fracture type, will be simultaneously delivered to both groups. Following this, the practical group will receive a 60-minute hands-on session using 3D-printed digital models of radius and ulna fractures. These training sessions will be scheduled in the morning hours, on a day when students have no other classes between 9 am and 12 pm, to minimize mental fatigue and exhaustion. In the practical session, anatomical structures, their relationships, and arrangements will be demonstrated to the practice group using a model of a fractured wrist.

The control group will receive the same practical session using a standard anatomical model.
Time frame: one hour
A 25-question multiple choice questions test will be employed to assess students' anatomical knowledge and their decision-making capabilities for the rehabilitation program. The test will be prepared according to Bloom's taxonomy and will consist of both multiple-choice and open-ended questions. Total test time wil lbe 60 minutes and scores will be recorded as percentages.
Time frame: one hour
Academic Motivation Scale test taking motivation questionnaire will be used to assess participants' motivations. This scale, consisting of 22 questions and 7 subscales, evaluates amotivation, as well as internal and external motivation.
Time frame: one hour
To examine whether there is a change in the level of anxiety experienced by students during the exam, a 5-question short version of Test Anxiety Inventory will be used. The test includes sections related to ease, comfort associated with learning, and alignment of exam questions with the course.
Time frame: one hour
Participants will fill out a feedback questionnaire regarding the learning instruments using visual analogue scale.
