Abstract

Creating a replica of an anatomical structure. In one embodiments a method includes: accepting pictures of the anatomical structure of a subject; creating an object file that contains an initial model of an outside surface of the anatomical structure; cutting the initial model to a predetermined exterior shape circumscribing the anatomical structure to create a positive model; creating a negative model from the positive model; placing a stem tool object on an outside surface of the negative model in relationship to an orifice, thereby creating a final negative model; placing a zeroing and angling object to align the negative model to a predetermined angle; placing a base tool object by coupling the base tool object to the outside surface; printing, by way of a three-dimensional printer, the final negative model to create a negative mold; and casting the replica of the anatomical structure using the negative mold.
