3D-Brain-Printing

Requires MeshLab (https://www.meshlab.net/#download)

1. Run fs_brain.sbatch on HiperGator sbatch fs_brain.sbatch

• Before executing, be sure to edit the script to include your hipergator account and filepath

2. Open cortical.stl and subcortical.stl in meshlab

3. Perform Filters -> Mesh Layers -> Flatten Visible Mesh Layers

4. Perform Filters -> Smoothing, Fairing, and Deformantion -> ScaleDependent Laplacian Smoothing Filter

• Smoothing Steps = 100
• Delta % = 0.1
• Affect only selected faces = FALSE

4. Perform Filters -> Remeshing, Simplification, and Reconstruction -> Simplification: Quadratic Edge Collapse Decimation

5. File -> Export Mesh

• Binary encoding = TRUE

6. The output .stl file can be submitted to the UF library for 3D printing
