Methods for verification of 3D printed anatomic model accuracy using cardiac models as an example.

Background: Medical 3D printing has brought the manufacturing world closer to the patient's bedside than ever before. This requires hospitals and their personnel to update their quality assurance program to more appropriately accommodate the 3D printing fabrication process and the challenges that come along with it.

Results: In this paper, we explored different methods for verifying the accuracy of a 3D printed anatomical model.
