3D Printed Lung Slab, Hilum Removed
The lung has been dissected following a parasagittal plane, removing the mediastinal surface. Ordinarily, the pulmonary arteries, veins and bronchi can be observed entering the lung in the hilum – but the primary bronchi cannot be seen in this specimen as they have already divided substantially. It is unclear how far laterally the specimen has been dissected hence the bronchi subdivision level (secondary or tertiary) cannot be determined.
The cardiac impression is formed by the left ventricle of the heart resting on the mediastinal surface of the
lung. Although the lung has been dissected following a parasagittal plane, the cardiac impression can still be
observed as it is the most concave area of the medial surface of the lung.
The lung sits above the diaphragm, forming the concave diaphragmatic surface. The pleura has not been preserved
in this specimen, but ordinarily, there exists a diaphragmatic recess bounded by the costal and diaphragmatic
pleura. This would lie between the lung’s diaphragmatic impression and the diaphragm.

The models are very detailed and delicate. With normal production machines you cannot realize such details like shown in these models.
The printer used is a color-plastic printer. This is the most suitable printer for these models.
The plastic material is already the best and most suitable material for these prints. (The other option would be a kind of gypsum, but this is way more fragile. You even cannot get them out of the printer without breaking them).The huge advantage of the prints is that they are very realistic as the data is coming from real human specimen. Nothing is shaped or stylized.
The users have to handle these prints with utmost care. They are not made for touching or bending any thin nerves, arteries, vessels etc. The 3D printed models should sit on a table and just rotated at the table.
