Area of Science:

  • Medical imaging
  • 3D printing
  • Artificial intelligence

Background:

  • Traditional methods for converting MRI scans to 3D models are complex and time-consuming.
  • Existing tools often require multiple software installations and technical expertise.
  • Limited accessibility hinders the use of 3D printing in education, clinical settings, and research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce brain2print, an open-source, web-based application for converting T1-weighted MRI scans into 3D printable models.
  • To leverage artificial intelligence (AI) for automated segmentation and mesh generation directly on the user's device.
  • To provide a user-friendly, privacy-preserving, and accessible solution for creating 3D anatomical models.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a web-based application, brain2print, utilizing AI algorithms.
  • Implementation of on-device computation to process MRI data and preserve user privacy.
  • Integration of drag-and-drop functionality for MRI scans and selection of AI segmentation models.
  • Enabling customization of mesh complexity and structure for 3D printing.

Main Results:

  • brain2print successfully converts T1-weighted MRI scans into 3D printable mesh models.
  • The application performs all computations locally, ensuring data privacy and eliminating software installation requirements.
  • The zero-footprint design ensures broad compatibility across various devices and browsers.
  • The process is significantly faster and more user-friendly compared to prior methods.

Conclusions:

  • brain2print offers a streamlined and efficient solution for generating 3D printable models from MRI data.
  • The tool democratizes access to 3D printing for anatomical visualization in education, clinical practice, and research.
  • By prioritizing privacy and ease of use, brain2print facilitates wider adoption of 3D printing technologies in neuroscience and medicine.
