Research Brief: Researchers 3D print lifelike heart valve models – UMN News
Organ model could improve surgical outcomes for thousands of patients worldwide.
Researchers from the University of Minnesota, with support from Medtronic, have developed a groundbreaking process for multi-material 3D printing of lifelike models of the hearts aortic valve and the surrounding structures that mimic the exact look and feel of a real patient.
These patient-specific organ models, which include 3D-printed soft sensor arrays integrated into the structure, are fabricated using specialized inks and a customized 3D printing process. Such models can be used in prepara…
