3D Prints
We aim to make 3D printing accessible to everyone. There are numerous ways of creating 3D models and printing them. We have chosen to concentrate on Ultimaker and Form 2+ as the printers of choice (due to their reliability). We focus on the general problem of converting raw medical image data into a physical 3d print.
3D printed Gorilla
CT images of the museum object (full size Gorilla) were acquired.
The images of the bones including skulls, femur, humerus, shoulder blade, pelvic, tibula, fibula, radius, ulna, spine and fingers were segmented using thresholding.
Before 3D printing the files were smoothes and manifold surfaces were repaired.
Such bones are used for training pupils and students as part of the animal movement workshop.
Medfilament works with 3D printing technologies as it has inherently several advantages:
