Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for 3D printing from images, e.g., medical images or images obtained using any appropriate volumetric imaging technology. In some examples, a method includes receiving, from a medical imaging device, a multi-dimensional image of a structure. The method includes, for each two dimensional (2D) slice of the multi-dimensional image, converting, row-by-row for each row of the 2D slice, voxels of the 2D slice into 3D printing instructions for the 2D slice. The method includes 3D printing, by controlling a 3D printing extruder, a physical model based on the structure by 3D printing, slice by slice, each 2D slice using the 3D printing instructions.
