Article Title: Scalable DICOM 3D-printed phantoms mimicking marine mammal bone and soft tissue

doi: 10.1038/s41598-026-36154-5

Figure Lengend Snippet: Workflow for developing multi-material 3D-printed anatomical phantoms from CT imaging data. A DICOM stack of 2D cross-sectional CT images was imported into Synopsys Simpleware ScanIP for image processing, segmentation, and mask refinement. Bone and soft tissue components were segmented separately and exported as STL files following decimation. The bone STL model was imported directly into Autodesk Fusion 360 for print preparation, while the soft tissue shell underwent mesh conversion and surface processing prior to mold generation.

Article Snippet: The Simpleware ScanIP workspace along with the default model from import can be seen in Fig. a and b, respectively.
