description Purpose Three‐dimensional (3D) printing allows for the fabrication of medical devices with complex geometries, such as soft actuators and robots that can be used in image‐guided interventions. This study investigates flexible and rigid 3D‐printing materials in terms of their impact on multimodal medical imaging. Methods The generation of artifacts in clinical computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was evaluated for six flexible and three rigid materials, each with a cubical and a cylindrical geometry, and for one exemplary flexible fluidic actuator. Additionally, CT Hounsfield units (HU) were quantified for various parameter sets iterating peak voltage, x‐ray tube current, slice thickness, and convolution kernel. Results We found the image artifacts caused by the materials to be negligible in both CT and MR images. The HU values mainly depended on the elemental composition of the materials and applied peak voltage was ranging between 80 and 140 kVp. Flexible, nonsilicone‐based materials were ranged between 51 and 114 HU. The voltage dependency was less than 29 HU. Flexible, silicone‐based materials were ranged between 60 and 365 HU. The voltage‐dependent influence was as large as 172 HU. Rigid materials ranged between −69 and 132 HU. The voltage‐dependent influence was
