Lifecast Body Simulation is revolutionizing medical training with its innovative range of hyper-realistic manikins that deliver both technical precision and emotional engagement. Lifecast recognized that traditional training tools often fell short of preparing practitioners for the real-world challenges of patient care. Their visionary approach led to the creation of simulators that capture every nuance—from the texture of the skin and the intricate network of veins to the subtle movements of limbs—ensuring that every Lifecast model is as close to a living human as possible. This attention to detail supports a training environment where students can safely develop clinical skills, build confidence, and practice procedures ranging from routine examinations to complex surgeries such as airway management, intubation, and CPR.
Founded in 2017 by Dave Halliwell and Rob Clark at the iconic Elstree Film Studios in London—with additional state-of-the-art production facilities in Sarasota, Florida—Lifecast was created to bridge the gap in realistic simulation-based learning. The founders combined their passion for cutting-edge digital modeling and material science with deep insights into clinical needs, aiming to produce simulators that not only replicate human anatomy with astonishing accuracy but also foster the development of essential teamwork skills and empathy in healthcare professionals.
In August 2023, Lifecast Body Simulation was acquired by 3B Scientific, a global leader in medical simulation products and anatomical models since 1948. This acquisition brings Lifecast’s innovative, lifelike simulators under the expansive umbrella of 3B Scientific’s extensive manufacturing, research, and distribution network. Now a key part of the 3B Scientific family, Lifecast is poised to further its mission of advancing healthcare education on a global scale. Together, they empower educators, clinicians, and students with state-of-the-art tools that facilitate immersive and effective training environments.
