Abstract
An anatomical model representing a mili-scale bifurcation of an artery was constructed. A sequential method was developed to obtain a transparent PDMS model from a mold produced by rapid prototyping. The final objective is to manufacture transparent models that allow optical access to measure the velocity profiles of the flow of blood analogues by microparticle image velocimetry (µPIV).
