Anatomical silicone models and additive manufacturing thereof

The invention relates to a process for the additive manufacturing of an anatomical model using a 3D printing apparatus. The process is characterized in that at least one silicone rubber composition crosslinkable by means of electromagnetic radiation is used as the printing material. Layerwise application of the printing materials additionally allows the manufacture of complex anatomies. The anatomical models thus produced are particularly realistic and can be used by medical personnel for example for training, practicing surgical techniques, illustrating complex symptoms, or for patient-personalized preoperative surgery planning. The invention further relates to the anatomical models manufactured by the abovementioned process. 本发明涉及一种使用3D打印设备来增材制造解剖模型的方法。该方法的特征在于使用至少一种可通过电磁辐射交联的硅橡胶组合物作为打印化合物。此外，通过逐层施加所述打印化合物，使得复杂解剖结构的制造成为可能。由此生成的解剖模型特别逼真，并且可以被熟练的医务人员使用，例如用于训练、实践手术技术、显示复杂的临床图片或患者个体化的术前手术计划。本发明还涉及通过前述方法制备的解剖模型。
