摘要

Among the potential applications of additive manufacturing (AM), the development of anatomical models for simulations and/or surgical planning within the medical scope is of increasing interest. For this purpose, research has been carried out to develop ultrarealistic biomodels with complex pathologies by using digital anatomical printing. The objective included the study of a work methodology through several case studies in different medical fields focused on two complex aspects: areas where there is a simultaneous combination of different tissues (bone, vascular and tumoral…) and parts of small dimensions, placing special research emphasis on different aspects to overcome technological challenges related to segmentation, materials combinations and AM optimisation.
