Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) printing technology has the advantage of enabling specific visualization of creative ideas. Since synchrotron based images can provide high sensitivity and high resolution, they are a very useful technology to identify the 3D anatomy of microscale samples. X-ray images using such synchrotron radiation are grafted to 3D printing technology. We can be obtained 3D images and modeling data of an ant using synchrotron radiation, and then, it were outputted with the 3D printer. A new way to identify the usefulness of the structure analysis is then found by visualizing the micro-internal structure of diverse biomedical samples and creating an enlarged model. This study suggests methods of utilizing a 3D printed model produced through synchrotron radiation imaging in various fields such as bioengineering, medical, and education.
