I would like to announce the release of brain2print.org that provides a drag-and-drop solution for converting T1-weighted brain scans into meshes that can be 3D printed. Participants at MRI centers can now easily print their own scans without installing any software. You simply drag a NIfTI-format T1 scan onto the web page, select a segmentation model and then choose to create a mesh (with options to include a solid or hollow object). All processing uses the user’s web browser (so images are not shared with the cloud). All the software uses permissive open source licenses, so centers can even clone their own web pages. It combines brainchop AI models, NiiVue visualization, and ITK-WASM as well as niimath for image processing. For individuals with DICOM images, we provide the dcm2niix web assembly web page that can convert DICOM to NIfTI.
While brain2print requires a T1-weighted MRI, for those with CT scans or other images with a clear intensity boundary we provide the companion ct2print.org:
