Researchers used an inexpensive plaster composite material to
create heart models of a 9 - month - old girl, 3 - year - old boy and a woman in her 20s all of whom had complex congenital heart defects.
A multidisciplinary team including fluid dynamics researchers, materials scientists, engineers, structural mechanics experts, and machinists started designing prototype pumps as well
as heart models to measure performance.
To determine the difficulties in operating on a heart it is possible to use a CT scan to get an accurate
digital heart model and the 3D print the model to practice and determine spacing measurements for an operation.
In her Medical Assistant Clinic classroom, Chrissy has been implementing a «hands - on» approach to the circulatory system by having students make clay 2 -

«When you're holding
the heart model in your hands, it provides a new dimension of understanding that can not be attained by 2D or even 3D images.
