Flowchart demonstrating the workflow for printing of a 3D model. After acquiring the images, DICOM files are initially segmented to extract the anatomy of interest. An STL file is created and post-processed with computer aided design (CAD) software. Support scaffolds can also be created to hold the model parts in place. The completed STL file is then sent to the 3D printer for printing.
