[sudo-discuss] 3D printing my MRI ... scraps of something getting started

[Patrik D'haeseleer]

I totally think there's a market for making a 21st century anatomical model.

We used to have one of those plastic torso dummies at school, with
removable internal organs, each in a different color. We could make one of
those, except 3D printed from real body scans.

Check out the Visible Human Project for a really cool whole-body dataset:
