Title: 3D Printing to Create Tangible Anatomical Model of a Lobster
BEN 396. Mentor: Karissa Tilbury. Student: Darren Hanscom.

The Study 3D technology is an innovation that has been catalyzing manufacturing in recent years. This technology works by fusing metals together to form a 3D object that is based on the design from the input files in the 3D printer. The models created from this technology are used for various uses in manufacturing and education and include positive social, economic, and environmental, implications. Various medical uses of 3D technology include tissue and organ fabrications, the manufacturing of prosthetic and implants, and pharmaceutical needs. Benefits of 3D printing changes most of how we look at industry today. One substantial benefit includes the reduction of factory lines since products can be made by one machine rather than a handful of people. This reduces the cost of making the object. 3D printing also eliminates the need to ship or fly products across seas when the actual blueprint can be sent. As a results, this cuts transportation costs and reduces bulk. The domino effect continues as a cut in transportation and manufacturing reduced the carbon footprint as well as overall energy use.

To start off, the creator must have several images of an object at different angles (electron spins if talking about an MRI image). Those image are then to be transported onto a 3D printing software where they will be mended and cropped in order to display the model that is being created. In order to carry out the cropping process and create the model effectively, there must be a close familiarity with the 3D printing software. Once the model is created from the model is created, it can than be exported to the 3D printer using an accepted file type where the computer model is then turned into a tangible
