Baby3Dprint: a sculpture of the fetus from ultrasound, would you want it?

Imagine future blind parents who cannot get an idea of ​​what comes out in traditional ultrasound. That illusion, that feeling that most people can feel, is out of reach. But yes a "sculpture" of the fetus can be made from ultrasound, this limitation is overcome.

It is what the company offers Baby3print, which through an innovative 3D software is able to convert the data captured by an ultrasound so that a printer can print it with volume.

With this, it becomes possible to create the impressions that make it easy to touch the baby's features before birth, in three dimensions. A utility for those people who cannot see their baby on ultrasound.

Some time ago this possibility was offered that we talked about at the time, but now it can be obtained more easily if you live in Spain, since the company that produces them is located in San Sebastián.

This is really an interesting utility, although there are others that are mentioned in this type of impressions that do not seem so much to me, such as the detection of congenital malformations, which if they are visible, will be for the specialist in traditional ultrasound. Nor do I think they serve to decorate any corner of the house, it will be that I am quite impressionable.

It is recommended to obtain an ultrasound in the second trimester and the good thing is that it is not necessary to do it on purpose but it will serve the one we have (provided they can be stored in the appropriate format and the image is warm enough). The majority of sculptures that can be seen on the company's website are of the head or half body, sometimes you can see the little hands, the umbilical cord ...

For perform the fetus sculpture with Baby3Dprint They need a 3D or 4D ultrasound in a .Dicom format that is well visualized and has good quality (for greater realism of 3D printing). Then they make a simulation so that the future parents can see how it will look and after giving the approval the shipment takes about seven days to arrive. What do you think? Would you like to have one of these even if you don't have vision problems? Do you think it is expendable?
