The Fascial Net Plastination Project is an anatomical research initiative established in 2018 aimed at plastinating and studying the human fascial network. Spearheaded by Robert Schleip, in collaboration with Body Worlds, Fascia Research Group, and the Fascia Research Society, the project focuses on preserving the fascia, a complex connective tissue network that plays a crucial role in the human body's structure and function.

The result of this ambitious three-year project is the successful creation of the world's first 3-D representation of the fascial network of a whole human body, named FR:EIA (Fascia Revealed: Educating Interconnected Anatomy), which is on display at the Body Worlds museum in Berlin, Germany.^[1]
