Comparison of Mechanical Properties of Patient-Specific Direct 3D-Printed Aortic Valve for Simulation Trainings: A Comparative Study
Material selection and postprocessing play a crucial role in the biomechanical accuracy of 3D-printed patient-specific aortic models. Uncolored samples with a 15 min postcuring time are optimal for surgical simulation. Future research should focus on refining postprocessing techniques and directly comparing 3D-printed models with human aortic tissue to improve realism and validation.
