(5/5) ‘Titanium Ribcage’ - Human ribcage 3D printed in Titanium. In this image, the ribcage is viewed from the front with the vertebrae of the spine clearly visible in the centre. The ribcage belongs to Caroline, who was diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma
.
The 2D data contained in her CT scans were converted into 3D renders by the artist, who was then able to export them to a printable format. I had really been trying to get Caroline's rib cage 3D printed in titanium a material that is used for medical prosthetic's. I was put in touch with a company in New Zealand who produced this stunning maquette (for free!) Thank you @zenithtecnica

(3/5) ‘Internal architecture of the trachea and lungs’
.
3D printed in Frosted Ultra Detail plastic. This image shows the internal structure of the lungs. The trachea (windpipe) divides into two branches called bronchi, which each divide further to produce smaller branches called bronchioles. After a number of further subdivisions, the bronchioles terminate into alveoli, which are the air sacs of the lungs where gas exchange occurs
.
An extension of a previous project, the lungs belong to Caroline who was diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma. The 2D data contained in her CT scans were converted into 3D renders by the artist, who was then able to export them to a printable format

(2/5) ‘Human lungs inside their ribcage’
.
3D printed in white SLS nylon. In this image, the lungs and rib cage are viewed from the back with the vertebrae of the spine clearly visible in the centre. The lungs and rib cage belong to Caroline who was diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma. The 2D data contained in her CT scans were converted into 3D renders by the artist, who was then able to export them to a printable format

(1/5) Hi @davefarnham here – I’ll be taking over for the next 5 days posting a selection of my work themed around human anatomy
.
In 2012, Caroline, a friend of mine was diagnosed with Stage 4 Hodgkin Lymphoma. In conversation, during one of her chemotherapy sessions, she volunteered her medical records, including her CT and MRi scans. From this data, and by using free, medical viewing software, I produced 3D renders of Caroline’s body and internal organs; I was able to virtually peal back the layers of Caroline’s skin to reveal her organs
.
I remember texting Caroline an image and later her telling me that she cried instantly at seeing that side of herself. The difficult part of this process was making sure that the CT data did not diminish when it was rendered out as a 3D object, ready to be printed; this was the most time-consuming part and, as a visual artist, the most important aspect of the work
.
In 2015, I was announced as a finalist in the Wellcome Image Awards, my entry was the first ever image of a 3D print in the Wellcome Trust’s collection. It was great to be able to share Caroline’s story and, happily, she is now cancer-free. I hope these works serve to represent both her strength and fragility, throughout her ordeal
.
‘Human heart inside ribcage’ - 3D printed in white SLS nylon. In this image, the heart and ribcage are viewed from the front with the vertebrae of the spine and shoulder blades also visible. The heart and ribcage belong to Caroline, who was diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma. The 2D data contained in her CT scans were converted into 3D renders by the artist, who was then able to export them to a printable format
