3D Printed CAT Scan

Printing internal and external body parts from a CAT scan

These fantastically accurate 3D printed CAT scan models of a rib cage and set of lungs were created for London based artist Dave Farman.

Overview

Initially the 3D model came from a CAT scan. This was then scaled down and converted into an STL file before being sent across to us.

Printing internal and external body parts from a CAT scan is a great example of the possibilities of rapid prototyping, allowing a cheap and accurate way of creating detailed, durable bespoke 3D objects.

“I can’t say a big enough thank you to Nick @3DPRINTUK. When other companies turned me down saying, ‘These files/images are too complicated to print’, 3dprint-uk jumped at the opportunity!"

Case Study Highlights

Dave wrote – “Thanks so much for the prints – I can’t believe how good they look! I have had these ideas and files for such a long time – to finally see them printed is a little surreal. I know who to bring my full body skeleton print to!”

“Super friendly, super quick and a super professional service. I couldn’t have ask for more, they have truly brought my artwork to life.”

NOTE: The original files were sent to us in DIECOM format – we offer a conversion for this file type into STL format. Please get in touch with any requests.
