Flexible Brochoscopy is playing an important role since its invention in 1960 as a key intervention in many medical specialities, either for diagnostic reasons i.e. biopsy or therapeutic ones i.e. foreign body removal. Such an intervention requires experience which in ventilated patient is very difficult to require.

The training before such a procedure is important in order to improve efficiency, and to reduce the rate of complications and time needed to perform it. Especially due to limited opportunities for offering such training in clinical trials due to patients discomfort.
Offering simulating models offer a great opportunity to require the needed simulation experience which may be more available than the clinical ones.
Earlier many trials were made on manufactured simulators which in most cases offer a good but costly example. Nowadays and using 3D printing technology it’s possible to generate an anatomical identical models and nonetheless with a low cost.
In our study we aimed to develop a simulator which can offer the trainees the same clinical environment and make it able to build up the same level of experience. As 3D printing is one of the most new promising technologies in medicine. And recently it has been shown to be of a great value in preoperative guiding of many surgical interventions. There’s an expanding interests to use patient specific 3D models to guide and plan surgical interventions.
