3D Model of Aortic Bifurcation Segment

This 3D model is a printed representation of the aortic bifurcation and iliac arteries, derived from medical imaging. It is suitable for medical and engineering applications, particularly in the development of stents and endovascular aneurysm repair devices.

Construction Features:

• The model is based on CT data showing the presence of stents in the right iliac artery.
• The creation process utilized open-source software for segmentation and STL export.
• It can be used for creating molds for deployment or flow modeling.

Printing Recommendations:

• Print the model upside-down to avoid issues with overhangs.
• PLA is recommended for printing; water-soluble PVA can be considered for mold cores.
• Ensure the print temperature is set to 230 degrees, with an estimated print time of around 4 hours and 19 minutes.
