- A 3D-printed breast slice based on a breast CT of a real patient, using PLA to mimic both gland and skin, and ABS for fat, was successfully printed.
- The X-ray attenuation coefficients of the materials after complete printing remain compatible with those of reference materials (CIRS-Gland and CIRS-Fat).
- To reduce printing artifacts due to infill, efforts will be made to fine-tune the printing parameters and use other brands of filaments to print slices with higher homogeneity.
- As future work, objects compatible with microcalcifications will be included during the 3D printing process and the rest of the slices of the digital model will be printed to have the whole physical phantom.
