What does a 3D-printed spine have to do with art? Ask @summerin3d.bsky.social PhD, @@virtuallyjon.bsky.social, PhD, Edgar Arceneaux, USC President Beong-Soo Kim, and Shri Narayanan, all together at USC's Arts + Health Symposium "Radiology Live" panel.

3D printing didn't just support this surgery. It made it possible. Thanks to the incredible collaboration between Nathanael Heckmann, MD, @summerin3d.bsky.social & @virtuallyjon.bsky.social, a patient who came to @keckmedicineusc.bsky.social to repair a previously failed hip surgery can walk again.

Dean’s POV 📸 Breaking news from 330 BCE: @summerin3d.bsky.social and @virtuallyjon.bsky.social with CIMV performed advanced 3D imaging to virtually "unwrap" the mummies and create 3D prints of their spines and artifacts for a new public exhibition @casciencecenter.bsky.social 🧪 #Science #MedSky

I am now side-eyeing 2026 and waiting for it to do something. For everyone out there, I hope this one treats you well.

And Chicago bound for RSNA. I’m tired already. 10-12” of snow?! #rsna25 #rsna2025

"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

#3dfridays #3dprinting More 3d-printing in medicine. Here is a liver cancer case used for planning and patient education

Late and not the usual. Made for a friend. #3dprinting #3dfridays. Here is a Dr. Doom bust sculpted by CA3D Studios, then printed and painted by me.

#3Dprinting 3D Fridays. (Look! I actually posted on a Friday!) Here is a femur being printed on a Form 4BL.

#3dfridays #3dprinting here is a vascular tree printed on a j850

#3Dfridays #3dprinting a little late but here is a liver printed via Stratasys polyjet to assist in surgical planning.

Who's going to #Comic-Con? 🙋 @summerin3d.bsky.social and @virtuallyjon.bsky.social (USC 3D lab dir. & assoc. dir.) are speaking on a panel you won't want to miss! 3D Printing/XR for Medicine, Forensics, and Animals is the place to be on Thurs 7/24, @ 12p #SDCC #SDCC2025 @radiologyusc.bsky.social

3D Fridays. This is a flexible/rigid print of a dissecting aortic arch that is heavily calcified and has an aneurysm. It is used for procedure planning, simulation and to help educate the patient. #3dfridays #3dprinting #3dprintingmedicine

Printing a fetal medicine case example. #3Dprinting #3Dfridays

First they came for illegal immigrants ………

Great meeting at #ECR2025. But how in the world is it possible that in a medical meeting smoking is allowed on the premises. European Society of Radiology get your act together!

New j850 printer being installed. #3dprinting #3dprintingfridays. Thanks Orlando, Girardo, John, Brianna and Raphael for the help today! Summer ( @summerin3d.bsky.social )and I appreciate it!

Kind of just shouting into the void, but one of those days where if I could stay home with my dogs and never leave I would. Just nothing working and hitting my head against multiple facets of frustration

Out traveling but here is one for #3Dprinting #3Dfridays here is a complete aorta of a patient who has a TEVAR but also has a dissection starting at the abdominal aorta and down the the left internal iliac

In “Way of the Kings” there’s a cursed king who doesn’t know whether he will wake up a genius or an idiot each morning. That’s how I am now with anger. Today I am very angry.

Here is the full letter. You can also read it on xouthate.org

Missed a couple. Between fire evacuation and an insane workload I’ve fallen behind here. Here’s a quick test print as I do some troubleshooting. #3dprinting #3dfridays

#3Dprinting #3dfridays. Here is a full sized pelvis being printing in a Formlabs Form4BL. So much faster than the previous generation

Almost didn’t make today’s post. Here’s an old veterinary one we did. This is Queeny the Harpy Eagle. We created a custom prosthetic to reinforce her beak which was weakened by disease. Now she can eat without worrying. #3dprinting #3dfridays #veterinarymedicine

I really need everyone who I think is funny, kind and smart to stop doing those things. Another friend who exemplifies being a good and charming person just got diagnosed and it’s so fucking heartbreaking

I’m not big on self promotion but I am excited and proud of what we’re ( @summerin3d.bsky.social ) building at #USC #radiology #3dprinting www.advancedmanufacturing.org/voices-ampli...

Made it to Chicago for #RSNA2024. Time to see some friends and get some work done! #3Dprinting #Radiology

A little late but here is our #3Dprinting Friday picture. This is a patient print of their rather unique vascular tree. More details at this years #RSNA conference next week!

Maybe I’ll start a “3D Fridays”. Here’s some more test prints. The one on the right is my partner, her skull is smaller than mine (the left one). #3dprinting
