Amazing 3D Printed White Matter Model Of The Brain

[Brian_Krassenstein]

The Franklin Institute recently opened up their latest exhibit called 'Your Brain". The exhibit features all sorts of incredible pieces, which really help in understanding the inner workings of the body's most complicated organ. At the center of the exhibit is an incredible 26 inch long model of the white matter pathways of the human brain. The model was actually 3D printed on a 3D Systems' machine. Read the full story about how complicated this project was, and just how they managed to get it done. http://3dprint.com/7575/3d-print-bra...lin-institute/

The brain model has over 2,000 different strands to it, and took over 200 hours to print in 10 pieces. Check out the image of the finished print, once put together, below:
