Seth Friedman, PhD, runs the research lab at Seattle Children’s. Over thepast year, he has been on a quest to craft the “secret recipe” to recreate the precise pediatric pathologies they treat at their center. “Surgeons request anatomy models that mimic internal properties and function exactly like human tissue. The anatomical presets available today weren’t robust enough to meet our needs,” says Dr. Friedman. Dr. Friedman uses the Stratasys Digital Anatomy Printer to tinker and to test—to find the exact, mixtures of Stratasys’ unique tissue materials to create biomechanically accurate anatomy models.
