The Anatomage Table is a life-size, touchscreen virtual dissection system from Anatomage Inc. that lets students explore digitised real human cadavers in 3D. Anatomage markets it to medical schools, undergraduate health-science programmes, K-12 schools and simulation centres. If you searched for an “Anatomage Table download” or a free demo, the honest answer is that no such thing exists: the software comes with Anatomage’s hardware, there is no free edition, trial installer or “EDU free demo”, and the vendor offers only scheduled demonstrations.
“Table EDU” is the name used in Anatomage’s user manuals for the education software on the Table. The current generation is Table 12, announced on 2 October 2025 as a platform update for eligible Anatomage Tables. For dental education it is a general anatomy platform with useful head-and-neck content and a dental arch simulation, not dental clinical software.

What it does
- Shows full-body digitised real human cadavers (male, female, pregnant and geriatric) with thousands of labelled structures; Table 12 added a sixth cadaver showing metastatic cancer.
- Virtual dissection: cut, peel away layers and isolate structures at life size on an 84-inch multi-touch screen (Table Classic).
- More than 1,100 stained digital histology scans, according to the vendor.
- Physiology simulations, including cardiac motion, kinesiology, ocular motion, a dental arch simulation and pregnancy/delivery.
- A library of real patient cases and prosection scans for pathology teaching.
- Multi-cadaver comparison and a virtual skeleton with joint-motion simulation (new in Table 12).
- Clinical procedure simulations such as endoscopy, colonoscopy and radiology in Table 12, plus segmentation tools and CT/MRI 3D renders.
- DICOM support on Table Clinical and the Tablet for viewing real patient scans.
How dental teams use it
Head and neck anatomy classes
- Select a cadaver and isolate the skull, mandible, muscles of mastication, vessels and nerves.
- Remove layers step by step to show relations that matter for local anaesthesia and surgery.
- Use the labelled structures to quiz students on names and relations.
Occlusion and jaw movement
- Open the dental arch physiology simulation.
- Use it to explain the arrangement of the dentition and jaw movement before pre-clinical courses.
Linking anatomy to imaging
- On DICOM-capable models, load an anonymised CT study approved for teaching.
- Compare the 3D reconstruction with the cadaver anatomy on the same screen.
- For dental CBCT planning itself, use dedicated dental imaging software instead.
Install and first run
There is nothing to install on a PC or Mac. The software comes on the Table itself; existing customers request the Table 12 upgrade through Anatomage’s upgrade page, with online or offline options. Plan the room carefully: the Table Classic is a large, life-size unit, the Table Convertible can tilt upright for classroom viewing, and the Table Clinical is a more compact model for smaller spaces. Anatomage Table EDU user manuals and interface guides (for example the Table 12.0 User Interface Guide) describe start-up and the tools.
Limitations
- No free download, trial, web version or “EDU demo” edition.
- Hardware-bound and a major capital purchase for a school.
- Dental content is limited to general anatomy and the dental arch simulation; there is no tooth-level preparation training or dental treatment planning.
- Not a clinical or diagnostic system for dental practice.
- No regulatory clearance claims appear on the product page.
Anatomage Table vs alternatives
For hands-on dental skills, a haptic trainer such as the Simodont Dental Trainer is the relevant tool. For software-only anatomy study, look at Primal Pictures or, for tooth morphology, 3D Tooth Atlas. Anatomage’s former dental imaging software is covered on our InVivoDental Viewer page. Many schools also debate the Table versus traditional cadavers: the Table adds repeatable, labelled dissection and imaging links but does not replace tactile dissection.
FAQ
Is there an Anatomage Table download?
No. The software is not sold or distributed as a download for personal computers; it ships with Anatomage hardware. Related content is available in Anatomage’s separate Tablet app.
Can I use the Anatomage Table online for free?
No free online version is offered. Access normally comes through a school or simulation centre that owns a Table.
What is new in Anatomage Table 12?
A sixth full-body cadaver with metastatic cancer, multi-cadaver comparison, a virtual skeleton with joint motion, new physiology and clinical procedure simulations, and new segmentation content.
What is the Anatomage Table price?
Anatomage does not publish prices; institutions request a quote or demonstration from the vendor.
Anatomage Table vs cadavers: which is better?
They complement each other. The Table offers repeatable, labelled dissection and links to imaging, while real cadavers provide tactile experience and natural variation.
How do you use the Anatomage Table?
Choose a cadaver or case, then use touch gestures and tools to rotate, cut, remove layers and label structures. The Table EDU user manuals supplied to institutions describe each tool.
Is the Anatomage Table useful for dental students?
Yes, for head and neck anatomy and the dental arch simulation. It does not teach tooth preparation or clinical dental procedures.
