The 3D printed model of the fetus allows us to see how it looks in person, with something in hand to help us decide the best way to take care of the baby, senior author Glenn Green said. S. Mott.

'This is the first time we realize that 3D printing helps to show how serious the risk of fetal airway is in order to make a clinical decision,' said Green . '.
