A method of manufacturing a three dimensional bio-model from medical image data is described. The method comprises: identifying a skin layer in the medical image data; determining a thickness of the skin layer; generating three dimensional model data from the medical image data, the three dimensional model data comprising an indication of a synthetic skin layer, the synthetic skin layer comprising a surface layer and a backing layer, wherein a combined thickness of the surface layer and the backing layer is determined from the thickness of the skin layer; and three dimensional printing the three dimensional model data to provide a three dimensional bio-model.

Method of manufacturing a bio-model comprising a synthetic skin layer and bio-model comprising a synthetic skin layer

A cranial bio-model including a skull layer and a dura layer and method of manufacturing a cranial bio-model. A three dimensional bio-model for simulating a simulated cranial surgical procedure, the bio-model comprises a synthetic skull layer, a synthetic dura layer under the synthetic skull layer, and a spacer layer between the synthetic skull layer and the synthetic dura layer. The bio-model may be manufactured based on medical image data using three-dimensional printing.
