  • Medical applications of additive technologies
    Drstvenšek, Igor ...
    Rapid prototyping and additive technologies have opened-up new possibilities in medical or surgical intervetions. Combined with CT scanning techniques, rapid prototyping and tooling technologies can ... be used for better 3D visualization and treatment of patients. By using a CT scan of a patients injured scull, the scull was reconstructed and the missing part of the scull modelled by the use of CAD software. The scull and the implant were produced by SLS and PolyJet technologies to verify the fitting of both parts. based on the printed model of the implant, a silicone rubber mould was made to later used for modelling of biocompatible material and forming the implant placed into the patient`s scull.
