Abstract

This work presents a solution for printing organs, specifically the renal system, in cancer patients, having as input images ofCT scans obtained from a public domain database, which contains advanced medical images of cancer. The steps for the constructionof biomodels are presented, from the generation of 3D surfaces in a medical software, the adjustments in a 3D modeling software, in aslicing software the layers are divided and the necessary supports are added and finally the printing on an FDM Printer (Fused DepositionModeling, with ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) bfilament in white and green.
