Additively manufactured test phantoms for mimicking soft tissue radiation attenuation in CBCT using Polyjet technology

Developing tuneable viscoelastic silicone gel-based inks for precise 3D printing of clinical phantoms

“…In this sense, 3D printing technologies, such as the J850 Digital Anatomy printer from Stratasys S.L, try to recreate the softness and density of native tissues by unique material combination 29,30 or playing with the infill density and pattern. [31][32][33] However, they are focused on replicating specific properties such as Young's modulus values, shore hardness, 34 tensile strength, density or elasticity. 5 This approach oversimplifies the models using simple mechanical models to be compared with soft tissues.…”
