Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) - 1:1 Anatomical Scale

This model represents a clinical case of an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA). It includes the distal aorta and the bifurcation into the common iliac arteries, showing the localized dilation characteristic of this pathology.

Technical Origins:

• Data Source: Derived from real clinical CT scan data.

• Accuracy: High-fidelity anatomical landmarks for medical study.

• Anonymized: No patient data is attached to this file.

Usage Note: Ideal for medical students, radiology residents, and vascular surgeons to visualize the spatial relationship and morphology of the aneurysm in a physical 3D format.

Print Settings

• Material Recommendation: * Although it can be printed in TPU for a flexible feel, it is highly prone to heavy stringing due to the model's complex geometry and branches.

  • For a cleaner, high-quality result, I recommend using Red PLA or PETG.

• Scale: The file is provided at a 1:1 scale. However, for better printability and to reduce printing time, scaling the model down (e.g., to 75% or 50%) is recommended unless a life-size reference is strictly required.

• Supports: Yes (Required). Tree/Organic supports are mandatory to support the arterial branches and the aneurysmal sac while being easy to remove.

• Infill: 10% - 15% (Gyroid is preferred).

• Layer Height: 0.12mm - 0.16mm for maximum anatomical detail.
