This method demonstrates a voxel-based 3D printing workflow, which prints directly from medical images with exact spatial fidelity and spatial/contrast resolution. This enables the precise, graduated control of material distributions through morphologically complex, graduated materials correlated to radiodensity without loss or alteration of data.

Informational connectivity measures the correspondence between time courses of multi-voxel information across different brain regions. Multi-voxel pattern discriminability time series are extracted from regions and compared, revealing networks that are not identified in a typical functional connectivity approach.

Source: Laboratories of Jonas T. Kaplan and Sarah I. Gimbel—University of Southern California Experience shapes the brain. It is well understood that our brains are different as a result of learning. While many experience-related changes manifest themselves at the microscopic level, for example by neurochemical adjustments in the behavior of individual neurons, we may also examine anatomical changes to the structure of the brain at a macroscopic level. One famous example of this kind of change...

FAQs
The voxel grid determines how finely a digital model can be divided into independently controlled regions. Each coordinate can receive a selected material treatment, allowing geometry and, in some systems, local material properties to vary within the object. Finer spatial control can therefore support detailed internal features and more deliberate transitions between regions.
Voxel-level control allows different materials or material properties to be assigned to selected locations instead of applying one uniform composition throughout a part. This supports multimaterial components and functionally graded structures, in which properties change across the object. For engineering research, that capability helps investigate designs that combine different local functions within a single manufactured component.
Conventional layer-based fabrication may treat each layer as a relatively uniform region, whereas voxel printing controls selected volumetric locations within the model. This distinction provides more local control over geometry and, in some systems, material properties. As a result, voxel printing can make internal features, multimaterial regions, and graded structures easier to represent digitally.
A typical workflow begins with a digital model that is divided into a voxel grid. The printing system then identifies selected coordinates and deposits, cures, or otherwise modifies material at those locations. The resulting spatial pattern builds the intended object while preserving local control over geometry and, where supported, variations in material properties.
Engineers may choose voxel printing when a prototype requires customized geometry, internal features, or more than one material or local property. Its digital, coordinate-based control also supports rapid prototyping and experimentation with advanced designs. These capabilities make the approach relevant when a conventional uniform-layer strategy may not represent the desired component efficiently.
Voxel printing supports customized components, rapid prototyping, and research into advanced materials and lightweight designs. It also provides a platform for exploring digitally optimized manufacturing processes and functionally graded structures. In engineering, the resulting objects can help researchers examine how local control of geometry and material properties contributes to new component concepts.
