Dear Merchant,

I do work on the 3D printing of human bone structures for the teaching and surgical planning purposes. I do use specially CT scan DICOM data and MRI scan data. You can contact me if you like to collaborate with me. Regards.

Good day. What kinds of 3rd printed components are u referring to? Will it be soft or hard plastic specimens? Can you please send me more information on [email protected] I am a prototype specialist using entry level fused deposition modeling. We do print specimens for medical experimentation

A Japanese company "Koken" sells Colonoscopy model (with resectable polyps that bleed!), EGD(EsophagoGastroDuodenoscopy)Simulator, and ESD(Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection) Training Model, etc.

They are not 3D printed, but very realistic. I think you can replace model organs with your 3D printed ones.

 Hi Dr Merchant,

I am a surgeon based in Leeds UK, working on a similar topic - using patient specific (3D printed) models of rectum for pre-op rehearsals (please see http://www.isrctn.com/ISRCTN75603704). The Mech Eng Department here is equipped with dedicated 3D printing facilities.

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you require any further information ([email protected])

Thanks

Dear Aziz,

Lancaster University, through their Engineering Dept and School of Health and Medicine have an excellent relationship with local NHS Trusts. There has been increasing interest and activity in the last 3+ years in using additive manufacturing (3D Printing) for surgical, prototyping and teaching aids across many clinical areas. Happy to discuss further.

Regards, Allan.

hi let me know if I can be of any help
