RWTH Aachen University prints 3D model of nasal cavity

3D View

The Rhinodiagnost team, the profile section Computational Science and Engineering (CompSE) of RWTH Aachen University, and the Jülich Aachen Research Alliance – High-Performance Computing (JARA-HPC) jointly participated in the “RWTH Science Night” and printed a 2:1 computer tomography-based 3D model of a nasal cavity. Therefore, a fused-deposition modeling (FDM) method was used to print the object layer-wise. The printing instructions […]

Image files that have been created by magnetic resonance tomography (MR), computed tomography (CT) or microtomography can be converted into a computer model by image-based meshing. With the Marching Cubes algorithm, a voxel image consisting of image points is approximated by a polygon image. By using triangulation the surface is then divided into pieces that are relevant for the flow […]
