Especially in the latter category, it is required to obtain a sufficiently accurate representation of the anatomy, as these models can influence physician decisions, and are sometimes used for device sizing, shaping or customization. The quality of the physical 3D printed model is influenced by many factors such as medical image quality, virtual modeling software, software inter-operator variability, printer hardware, material selection, finishing process, etc. Moreover, extensive process requirements are needed in order to assure model quality and traceability, patient privacy and general logistics.
