Figure Lengend Snippet: a Original design of the humanoid arm ( Devanthro ), involving a simplified ball into socket joint and up to 9 muscle actuators, b close up on the original shoulder joint showing the ring used for attaching the muscle strings and the socket joint, c muscle actuator design (figure adapted from ), d key parts of the new shoulder design showing a 3D printed humerus (partial) and join socket (with coracoid process), fitted with the two components of a stemless shoulder implant, e assembled shoulder joint replacing the original design (left) showing similarities the structure of a human shoulder (right).

Article Snippet: These components were contained in a 3D printed casing designed with a CAD software (Autodesk Fusion, San Francisco, United States) and made of 3D printed polyamide (EOS GmbH Electro Optical Systems, Krailling, Germany).

Article Title: Accurate image-based CSF volume calculation of the lateral ventricles

doi: 10.1038/s41598-022-15995-w

Figure Lengend Snippet: Ventricular volume gold standards creation. From medical images, the lateral ventricles’ masks are obtained. We process the masks transform into physical models through 3D printing. From this moment, an object mimicking the lateral ventricles but with a measurable geometry exists in our tangible world. One can accurately calculate the volume of the 3D objects using the WD device presented in Fig. .

Article Snippet: Then, we move the models to gcode format before printing them in a Monoprice Ultimate 3D printer Device using \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$0.1\;$$\end{document} 0.1 mm of precision and 25% for structural filling.
