CT/MRI Segmentation
Manual, sub-millimeter anatomical segmentation from DICOM data.
Anatomical Models for Medical Device R&D
One medical designer. From your DICOM to a physical model.
An independent medical design studio producing anatomical models, silicone phantoms, and DICOM segmentation for medical device companies, from scan to finished part, by the same person who reads the data and designs the solution.

Step inside the scan.
Each model is a real reconstruction you can explore in 3D, segmented from CT and rebuilt chamber by chamber. The heart experience is live; the rest are in production.

03 / About
The designer you speak to is the one who builds it.
Tal Wainer Katsir is a medical designer and industrial designer with deep experience in anatomical modeling, DICOM processing, and physical fabrication. Tal m3Dical was built around one principle: R&D teams need a partner who handles the entire chain without losing accuracy at each handoff.
Every project is handled directly. The person who reads the scan designs and finishes the part.
Clients include medical device startups and established companies using Tal m3Dical for R&D testing, V&V protocols, and investor demonstration models. Full confidentiality. NDA available on request.

04 / FAQ
Questions R&D managers ask first.
Tal m3Dical is an Israel-based medical design studio producing anatomical phantoms and validation models for medical device companies. Work covers R&D benchtop testing, V&V protocols, and investor demonstrations. Output ships globally.
Tal m3Dical produces custom silicone anatomical replicas cast from 00-15 Shore (extremely soft, tissue-equivalent) to 50A Shore. Molds come from 3D-printed masters derived from your CT or MRI data. Anti-friction coating is available for vascular and luminal phantoms.
The key differentiator is whether the person doing segmentation also specifies the fabrication. Here, the same medical designer segments the CT data, determines wall thicknesses, selects the fabrication approach, and builds the model, with no translation loss between digital and physical. Turnaround is typically days to two weeks depending on complexity.
Tal m3Dical produces transparent anatomical models using SLA resin printing with a multi-stage post-processing protocol for full optical clarity. Used for investor pitches, trade show demos, and device visualization. Internal colored structures can be visible through a clear outer wall.
They are built as research and engineering tools for medical device R&D, V&V, and demonstration. Tal m3Dical is a design studio, not a regulated device manufacturer, so the models support development work rather than clinical decision-making. Most clients bring a development need and the right deliverable is defined together on a short scoping call.
Usually CT or MRI data in DICOM format and a short description of what you are testing or demonstrating. If you do not have a scan yet, that is fine, the anatomy and intended use can be discussed first. Most projects begin with a 20-minute call that resolves scope and the right deliverable.
Typically days to about two weeks, depending on complexity, material, and finishing. Because one person handles segmentation, design, and fabrication, there is no procurement chain or subcontractor handoff to slow things down. Rush timelines can often be accommodated, ask when scoping.
Effectively any region that can be reconstructed from CT or MRI, including cardiac, neurovascular, pulmonary, skeletal, spinal, pelvic, and abdominal anatomy. Soft-tissue, vascular, and bony structures can be separated and color-differentiated by tissue type for clearer R&D visualization. And it is not limited to scan data, anything beyond CT or MRI can be modeled to spec from reference images, drawings, physical samples, measurements, or your design intent, whatever the project needs.
Yes. Pre-commercial device work requires it. Patient data and project details are handled confidentially and an NDA is available on request before anything is shared. Nothing leaves the studio without your authorization.
Yes. During the project you get access to a private online 3D viewer where you can rotate, inspect, and comment on the model in your browser, no software to install. You sign off and approve the manufacturing order before anything is built, so there are no surprises.
