Abstract
Methods and techniques of using 3D printers to create physical models from image data are discussed. Geometric representations of different physical models are described and complex data conversion processes that convert input image data into geometric representations compatible with third party 3D printers are disclosed. Printing templates are used to encapsulate complex geometric representations and complicated data conversion processes from users for fast and simple 3D physical model printing applications.
Claims6
A printing template method of single-action 3D printing of a solid body comprising steps of:
- receiving an image data set as input;
- identifying voxels in empty regions and in regions with tissues or materials;
- generating a geometric representation from the identified voxels;
- and
- sending the generated geometric representation to a 3D printer for printing a physical model.
