Future parents who cannot wait for the moment when they can finally hold their baby in their arms, they can now buy a three-dimensional model of the fetus and show it to friends. Japanese the inventors came up with a way to turn the results of conventional ultrasound into Anatomically correct copy of the unborn child. Nine a centimeter piece of resin representing the model of the fetus is enclosed into a transparent block that repeats the shape of the womb and is created on 3D printer after MRI. FASOTEC offers the future parents also have miniature versions of the child that may become “a good decoration for a mobile phone or a keychain.” “Only once in your life you are pregnant with this baby and we have received many requests to create these models from pregnant women who are not want to forget the feelings that they experience in these 9 months, “- said the scientist. Angel model costs 100,000 yen (about $ 1,000 USA). Company officials say the perfect time for The scan is the eighth to ninth month of pregnancy. For those who are not ready to spend such an amount, the company will offer A 3D model of the fetal face for 50,000 yen (about $ 500) – in December. Ultrasound will be used to create models. pictures taken at a medical clinic in Tokyo that concluded contract with the company. FASOTEC is a supplier of devices, including 3D printers, and uses layering techniques to create three-dimensional structures. The company also produces a 3D model of internal organs that can be used by doctors for planning operations or medical students for training. It is also possible that in the near future, models will be used in hospitals for so that doctors can tell in more detail and clearly patients about their condition. Technology allows you to repeat not only shape, but also the texture of the model – for example, make it solid or soft.

“By making a model that looks like a real organ or bone, you can to simulate operations and engage in various studies, “- sure representative of the company FASOTEC. The scientist stated that his the company hopes that the creation of 3D models of newborns babies will help popularize this advanced technology. Alexey Slobodyan
