Abstract :
Additive manufacturing in the form of 3D printing is becoming more common with the rise of low-cost hobby machines which makes research in the field of medicine more accessible. This article explores and experiments with methods of producing three dimensional replicas of body parts as education material from the medical imaging data of Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
