3D Physical Models of Your Unborn Baby from Embryonic Development until Birth

Diagnostic imaging during pregnancy is essential for monitoring the development of the baby to be. These images are important to detect any abnormalities and better prepare for certain cases such as twins, birth defects, etc. Additionally, the parents seeing their baby on the screen for the first time give them joy and anticipation. In order to preserve such valuable moments in memory, such scans can be used to produce physical 3D printed models of different stages of pregnancy. These models allow parents to touch their fetus before birth by transforming a scan of an unborn child into a 3D printable model. For the blind or others with vision impairments, these can provide a tactile sense to their baby to be, bringing joy and wonder for a better quality of life. Moreover, medical professionals can use such models to help prepare for any necessary fetal surgery or complications in baby delivery. The idea of presenting friends and family with a 3D model of your unborn baby rather than image scans would certainly impress and impact people for years to come.

 

Baby Statues & Sculptures

Bring joy to any space with a baby statue or a sculpture, obtained from medical scans and DICOM files. Such images are combined to produced 3D models, which are then cleaned, processed and then colourized to the desired outcome. We add additional features (like holding hands, wings, etc.) to the model as a disruptive art statement that parents would be happy to share along side precious memories. People would also enjoy looking at the model after giving birth, think ‘This is how my baby looked inside me’ and recall how it felt to be pregnant. You can also erect public art or monuments with real-life resemblance of the baby to be.

Life-Sized Fetus Model

Physical, tangible models are the next step for complex and detailed 3D imaging techniques that advanced from the original, blurry Polaroid photos. We can give pregnant women a 3D model of their unborn child inside their uterus. We can also use the uterus to form part of the model. With our digital platform, we use medical scans to develop 3D designs of the fetus and use multi-colour 3D printing technology to fabricate the model. These can be used as gifts, memorabilia or even jewellery as we can scale down the model to be worn as a necklace, wrist band, key chain or even hairpins. With this technology, doctors can now use 3D Printing to help blind parents feel the baby's ultrasound with a physical, life-sized model on their hands.

Custom Pregnancy Models

Observe the characteristics of both the uterus and fetus after set weeks of pregnancy. This life size model depicts the female human pelvis with a fully developed fetus. The model can be used to spot development issues and potential birth defects. Additionally, modelling the 3D medical images focuses on details such as the shape and formation of the fingers, toes and even facial features. This helps physicians to practise critical procedures when fetal surgery is required. The entire set, which can be built in one of detachable models, can be custom and patient specific with full multi-colour and gradient stiffness to simulate the feel of different soft-tissues.

A Life-Like Model of Expectant Parents Unborn Child

Expectant parents can now get a 3D printed model of their unborn child. All we need is diagnostic imaging from ultrasound, CT or MRI to create a 3D digital model of the fetus before assigning bio-texture of shape, feel and colour. After the digital model is cleaned, we utilize digital fabrication and state-of-the-art 3D printing technologies to produce a physical model with transparent, stiffness gradients and sizing capacities. These can be used as gifts, memorabilia or even wearables such as a necklace, key-chains or wrist bands to keep the memory close at hand. We can also add textures, specifically braille for blind and visually impaired parents to feel the ultrasound with a physical model of their child to be. We also help physicians with custom fetus models for surgical planning and training before any critical fetal surgeries or delivery.
