Looking for ways to incorporate visual elements into your reports and presentations? Two standout platforms—NIH 3D and BioArt Source—are leading the charge in bridging the gap between complex biomedical concepts and clear, compelling visuals.

NIH 3D stands out as the sole resource dedicated exclusively to bioscientific 3D prints and visualizations. While few scientific 3D-printable models are available online, the expertise needed to create and validate these models poses a significant challenge. NIH 3D addresses this issue by offering an open, comprehensive, and interactive platform for searching, browsing, downloading, and sharing biomedical 3D print and model files. Additionally, it provides modeling tutorials and educational materials to support users.

BioArt Source is invaluable due to its reliable, accessible, and ever-evolving collection of high-quality scientific illustrations, all vetted for accuracy. This curated library offers free, high-quality biomedical and scientific icons for use in figures, presentations, websites, and print materials. By collaborating with professional medical illustrators and subject matter experts, BioArt Source ensures that its visual representations are precise and trustworthy, addressing the issue of inaccurate scientific graphics commonly found online.
