Creation of Standard Tessellation Language formatted 3D object files created by segmenting medical images using Synapse 3D (FujiFilm, Stamford, CT). Understand the differences between fusion deposition, stereolithography, selective laser sintering, and powder-based printing and how to choose the appropriate technology for the application. Examination of a mixed material 3D printed model. Personalized 3D cancer models can be very useful to patients’ in understanding and receiving timely, complete and accurate information in order to effectively participate in their care and decision-making. 

I. Use of Synapse 3D (FujiFilm, Stamford, CT)  to generate Standard Tessellation Language formatted 3D object files. II. Overview 3D Printing Technologies      o Fusion Deposition Modeling      o Stereolithography – including new research from School of Engineering.      o Selective Laser Sintering      o Powder-based printing III. Examples of mixed material printing. IV. Discussion of clinical applications.     o Patient education – better understanding of their disease to informed treatment choice     o Surgical planning     o Medical student education – use in human anatomy classes
