Which material for a 3D printable model is best to illustrate the detail of compression fractures?

[Retsuko]

Hi there, I am looking to order a 3D print model of a lumbar spine that has compression fractures. The detail of the fractures (depth and texture) are the most important aspect that I want portrayed, but despite reading through the various materials that are available for it to be constructed from and their descriptions I am still unsure which of them to pick for this express purpose. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Material is less important than printing method used. I'd use a stereolithography printer. It gives the best detail. This is the same method used for Detailed White Resin for the print service on this site. You can order your print here or do you own.
