The project involves the experimental application of digital model making technologies in fetal medicine. It proposes a new form of interaction with the unborn child during pregnancy by physically recreating the interior of the womb during gestation: the physical appearance, the actual size, and also malformation.
The project proposes an innovative contribution to science and the educational study of fetal malformations, as the methodology may be applied at different stages of pregnancy. The combination of USG, MRI and CT scans and Rapid Prototyping technologies aims to improve the understanding of fetal abnormalities.
