About Project
Behold the pinnacle of medical rapid prototyping: an optically clear human skull model featuring highly intricate internal geometry. Printed using advanced PolyJet 3D technology, this model showcases flawless transparency and an ultra-smooth finish that allows you to see straight through the cranial structure to the branching internal pathways inside.
Unmatched Realism for Medical Innovation
Achieving this level of clarity isn’t just about looking sharp—it’s a game-changer for the healthcare industry. These models are widely utilized for:
- Surgical Planning & Simulation: Giving surgeons a literal clear view to map out complex procedures and practice tool routing before entering the operating room.
- Medical Device Testing: Ideal for visualizing internal component interfaces and fluid dynamics.
- Anatomical Education: Providing high-fidelity visuals that offer students an uncompromised look at complex biological structures.

Solution
- Step 1: Digital Model Preparation. High-resolution CAD designs and medical anatomical data were converted into 3D-printable formats. Optimal print orientations were determined to ensure the internal channels remained accessible, and the file was sliced into microscopic layers.
- Step 2: PolyJet 3D Printing. Micro-droplets of clear photopolymer resin were jetted onto the fabrication tray and instantly cured by integrated ultraviolet (UV) lamps layer by layer. Simultaneously, a gel-like temporary support material was co-deposited to maintain the stability of the complex internal vasculature.
- Step 3: Support Material Removal. The finished prototype was removed from the build chamber. To clear the delicate internal structures, the matrix was submerged in a chemical solution, and the softened support materials were thoroughly flushed out using a high-pressure water apparatus.
- Step 4: Meticulous Hand-Sanding. The naturally frosted exterior surface of the raw resin was eliminated through post-processing. The skull was wet-sanded by hand using progressively finer grits of sandpaper until a smooth satin finish was achieved.
- Step 5: Buffing and Clear Coating. A high-gloss polishing compound was buffed onto the entire model. Finally, a specialized, UV-resistant transparent clear coat was applied to the surface, by which full optical clarity and glass-like transparency were realized.
