We use a Zeiss LSM 710 confocal microscope with ZEN Software to capture three dimensional data in z-stacks. The Zeiss .czi file is converted into an .obj file, using NIH's FIJI and the Bio-formats importer plugin. The mesh is filtered and edited using MeshLab 2016 and AutoDesk MeshMixer. We have an Ultimaker2 3D printer which uses the Ultimaker Cura 3.2 software.
