Abstract
A system and apparatus for selection and fabrication of surgical models allows a database of files of anatomical systems and regions with specific anatomy, pathology, and severity for a corresponding specific surgical model fabrication. A database stores files with data for fabrication of 3D models arranged by anatomical system, ailment or disease, severity, region and location, for allowing selection of a model appropriate to instructional subject matter desired, such as surgical procedure training on unique anatomy and pathology. A server employs a GUI for user selection for narrowing and identifying parameters for the model. An interface to a manufacturing machine, such as a 3D or additive printer to produce the surgical model using materials approximating the emulated tissues. Additionally, the fabricated models include integrated attachment components to fasten and orient the model to a surface for surgical training instrumentation.
