Artifact of the camera frame rate relative to the design of the item, the speed of rotation and the frame rate resolution of the eye. Mind you, with the singig bowl music, it could just be the pot.

That 3d print changed everything for his wife. He was able to show it to several doctors, and the surgery planned for his wife was changed: instead of sawing off the top of her skull, lifting the brain, and then digging for the tumor around the optic nerve, they only had to drill a small hole above her left eyebrow. They got 95% of the tumor without any scarring and without lifting her brain out of her skull. Without his advocacy, and the physical models he produced, her surgery would have been much riskier.

Best part: anyone with a 3d printer can do this. The software tools to turn MRI or CAT scan files into G-code files are available for free on Github.

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
