  • Patent number: 10842585
    Abstract: A model of a body part, e.g., liver, of which the internal structure can be observed easily; and others. In a liver model according to the present invention, the liver parenchyma is formed in the form of a frame to make it possible to observe the portal, veins, a tumor and others in the inside of the frame 31a easily. In addition, the liver model can be handled easily by gripping a gripping part provided at the lower end surface of the inferior vena cava, and the tumor is integrated with the liver model by means of a joint part. The liver model can be manufactured from a model material using a 3D printer on the basis of three-dimensional shape data for model manufacturing purposes, which are produced using an information processing device.
