Halcyon Linear Accelerator (Varian Medical Systems, Palo Alto, CA)

This is a model of a medical linear accelerator based on the “Halcyon” Unit marketed by Varian Medical Systems (Palo Alto, California).   Medical linear accelerators are large and highly sophisticated medical devices that emit focused beams of high energy ionizing radiation used to treat cancer patients.  

About 50% of all cancer patients are treated with radiotherapy at some point in the course of their care.   Linear accelerators are the most frequently used device to deliver these treatments and are highly effective in treating the vast majority of cancers.

The 3D model is printed flat, and easily bent and snapped together for assembly.  Multiple filament colors have been used to render this print, and a .3mf file has been included with suggested colors.

The prints shown here were created with PLA filament, 0.10mm layer height and a few other minor tweaks.

Send comments and suggestions for improvements.

Disclaimer:  I have no relationship with Varian Medical Systems other than that I have used their technology to treat patients.
