Benchtop research is a critical starting point for the development of new technologies and techniques. This video demonstrates how to create a 3D kidney model from a CT image that can be used for training and research purposes. METHODS: In this video, we show step-by-step how to take a CT image in the DICOM format and turn it into a 3D silicone kidney. Steps include choosing a CT for printing, anonymizing and downloading the CT, selecting the desired organ in the CT image, optimizing that selection for printing, designing the mold, slicing the mold for transfer to the 3D printer, selecting materials, printing, and molding. Software and equipment used included Aquarius iNtuition Viewer™, 3D Slicer, Meshmixer ™, Fusion 360™, Prusa Slicer, Bambu Studio, Prusa Mini printer, Bambu Labs X1C printer, polyvinyl acetate (PVA) filament, and polylactic acid (PLA) filament. RESULTS: This video demonstrates the creation of a silicone kidney, complete with renal pelvis and collecting system starting with a CT image. The video is intended to be a guide, covering the steps required to complete this process. Additionally, the steps laid out in this video can be easily transferred to the creation of other solid organ models and thus have a wide variety of applications in urology. CONCLUSIONS: Printing a 3D model or mold from a CT image provides a useful tool for easy creation of anatomically correct models that can be used for education, research, and training. Use of models like these can decrease the requirement for live animals in research and allow for more accurate and cost-effective anatomic representations for many other indications.
