Frequently asked questions
Free Annual Consumables
It’s as simple as this: every year, we send you replacement consumables for free.
For example, when you purchase our Arterial Line Insertion Model, you’ll receive:
• Up to 10 metres of arterial vasculature, and
• Up to 10 ultrasound inserts every year—for 2 years!
This ensures your training tools stay effective and ready to use, without additional costs.

Our Commitment to Keeping You Covered
At SIM.3D, we believe our products are meant to be used—not left sitting on a shelf collecting dust. If something happens during training, we’ve got you covered.
Here’s How It Works:
• If your model is damaged (short of negligence or loss), simply return the damaged item to us, and we’ll ship you a replacement—quickly and at no cost to you.
• Yes, we cover the shipping, because we know the last thing you want is to deal with more funding and paperwork.
Fair Use Policy While we’re committed to ensuring your training can continue without interruption, we do have some limits. We prefer plain language over legalese - just know that short of loss, theft or gross negligence we have you covered. Asking for yet another free replacement? We’ll touch base and see if there's a design improvement to be made.
At SIM.3D, we prioritize your ability to train with confidence. We’ll handle the rest!
SIM.3D was founded by clinician educators with a simple mission: to create exceptional 3D-printed training equipment designed to be used frequently and without worry.
We know educators have to much to do supporting clinicians with high quality education to be writing endless business cases or finding money for outrageously expensive consumables.
To make this vision a reality, we’ve leveraged cutting-edge technology to dramatically reduce costs. This allows us to offer the same competitive pricing as the industry giants, while still delivering free replacements, included consumables, and all the other benefits that define the SIM.3D brand.
What’s our secret? We keep it simple. With no bloated overhead every dollar we save goes back into creating better products and value for our customers.
At SIM.3D, we’re here to redefine what’s possible in medical simulation training—on your terms.
At SIM.3D, we believe that functional fidelity and functional task alignment are the most important aspects of effective simulation training. Research supports our belief that the ability to replicate critical procedures is far more impactful than hyper-realistic skin tones, freckles, or other cosmetic details. Veins that flashback, arteries that pulse and pleura that pop are vital in providing function fidelity.
Why We Prioritise Functionality
While hyper-realistic silicone manikins with perfect age spots, freckles, and lifelike hair are visually impressive, our expertise lies in creating tools that prioritize:
• Practicality: Models designed for high-frequency, high-volume training.
• Realism Where It Matters: Anatomically accuracy & haptic feedback that mirrors real world conditions.
• Value for Customers: Cost-effective solutions focused on enhancing procedural training.
If visual realism is a critical part of your training objectives, we fully support exploring these amazing products . They’re great for certain applications, but we prefer to focus on delivering models that prioritize functional fidelity and offer lasting value for your investment.
At SIM.3D, we understand the challenges of balancing cost, functionality, and realism in simulation training. That’s why we’ve designed manikin-mounted part task trainers—enhancing your simulation capabilities without the expense or risk of damaging your valuable manikins.
Why Choose Manikin-Mounted Trainers?
• Dual Functionality: Use them as standalone trainers or mount them directly onto your manikins to create a seamless, realistic training experience.
• Cost-Efficient:Protect your manikins from wear and tear while keeping replacement costs low.
• Enhanced Realism: Simulate the way you train, integrating procedures directly into immersive scenarios.
Example Use Cases
Pediatric IO Training Picture this: You’re running a pediatric BASIC course, starting with IO insertion skills. You move on to a pediatric sepsis simulation, but inserting an IO directly into your manikin isn’t an option—it’s too costly to risk damage.
With SIM.3D’s Pediatric IO Part Task Trainer, you don’t have to compromise.
• Wearable Design: This trainer mounts directly onto your manikin, allowing you to simulate IO procedures exactly as they’re performed in practice.
• Durable and Replaceable: Use it repeatedly without worrying about costly repairs or replacements.
Arterial Line Training Arterial line insertion is a critical skill, but most manikins don’t offer this feature unless they cost as much as a luxury car. Enter the SIM.3D Arterial Line Part Task Trainer.
• Manikin Integration: Attach it directly to your manikin for unparalleled realism.
• Pair with the SIM.3D Pulse-App: Simulate adjustable heart rate and pulse strength for fully dynamic training scenarios.
• Modular Design: Disassemble and remount as needed, making it versatile for any simulation setup.
Train the Way You Work
From pediatric sepsis simulations to advanced vascular access, SIM.3D’s manikin-mounted trainers allow you to integrate critical skills into your scenarios without limits.

Referral Rewards Program
At SIM.3D, we value your support and believe in rewarding loyalty. That’s why we’ve created a simple, transparent Referral Rewards Program designed to benefit you and your organisation.
Here’s how it works:
• Earn 10% Credit: For every new customer you refer who makes a purchase, you’ll receive 10% of their purchase amount as a credit toward your future standard-price purchases.
• Ongoing Credit on Repeat Purchases: If your referee becomes a repeat customer, you’ll continue earning 10% credit on their future purchases too—earning rewards passively over time.
• In-House Referrals Count: Referrals from within your own organisation are eligible for rewards as well.
• No Expiry: Your credits never expire. Use them whenever it suits your needs.
• No Fine Print: No hidden fees. No complicated terms. Just a straightforward way to say thank you for spreading the word.
