An industrial oriented workflow for 3D printed, patient specific orthopedic cast

Abstract The clinical use of 3D printed patient specific orthopaedic cast is wide interest. However, design and production have problems such as time, which can take up to 35 h, standardized procedure considering that there are medical devices must comply mandatory and/or voluntary standards. Moreover, the proposed procedures do not fully consider traceability this innovative device with standards industrial proposes. aim work propose a semi-automatic workflow for casts. oriented towards reduction time in different phases (as scan setting, designing technique, printing orientation) flow. compliant recognized quality additive manufactured devices. This approach offers possibility introduce new practice well an optimized workflow.
