At least some of the example embodiments are methods including: accepting a plurality of pictures of the anatomical structure of a subject; creating an object file that contains an initial model of an outside surface of the anatomical structure; cutting the initial model to a predetermined exterior shape circumscribing the anatomical structure, the cutting creates a positive model of the anatomical structure within the predetermined exterior shape; creating a negative model of the anatomical structure from the positive model; placing a stem tool object on an outside surface of the negative model in relationship to an orifice of the anatomical structure, and thereby creating a final negative model; printing, by way of a three-dimensional printer, the final negative model to create a negative mold; and casting the replica of the anatomical structure using the negative mold.
