Additive Manufacturing Techniques for the Reconstruction of 3D Fetal Faces
This paper deals with additive manufacturing techniques for the creation of 3D fetal face models starting from routine 3D ultrasound data. In particular, two distinct themes are addressed. First, a method for processing and building 3D models based on the use of medical image processing techniques is proposed. Second, the preliminary results of a questionnaire distributed to future parents cons...
متن کاملReconstruction of an Extensive Midfacial Defect Using Additive Manufacturing Techniques.
Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors are extremely rare tumors arising in peripheral nerves. Only 17 cases involving the trigeminal nerve have ever been reported. These tumors have a very poor prognosis and very high rates of recurrence and metastases. Their recommended treatment involves complete tumor resection followed by radiation. This can be problematic in the head and neck region. We...
متن کاملStatistically Motivated 3D Faces Reconstruction
Facial surgeons require a vast amount of knowledge about the human face, in order to decide how to reconstruct an injured or traumatized part. Does this knowledge consist only of explicit notions about face anatomy, or is there also an implicit knowledge of the normal appearance of a face? And if the answer to the latter question is affirmative, is there a way for a computer to automatically le...
متن کاملThe Accuracy of 3D Optical Reconstruction and Additive Manufacturing Processes in Reproducing Detailed Subject-Specific Anatomy
3D reconstruction and 3D printing of subject-specific anatomy is a promising technology for supporting clinicians in the visualisation of disease progression and planning for surgical intervention. In this context, the 3D model is typically obtained from segmentation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) or echocardiography images. Although these modalities allow imaging...
متن کاملLaser additive manufacturing of 3D meshes for optical applications
Selective laser melting (SLM) is a widely used additive manufacturing process that can be used for printing of intricate three dimensional (3D) metallic structures. Here we demonstrate the fabrication of titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V alloy based 3D meshes with nodally-connected diamond like unit cells, with lattice spacing varying from 400 to 1000 microns. A Concept Laser M2 system equipped with las...
