Production of 3D printed PLA material for medical phantom in radiotheraphy

The objective of this study is to produce 3D printed phantom in slab size using polylactic acid (PLA) material. The other two specific objectives are to design and slice the model using available modelling and slicing software and to compare the internal geometry of PLA between infill densities of 1...
