Abstract

New technologies such as 3D printing and reverse engineering are becoming increasingly popular, including in medical applications. The paper presents possible ways to use 3D printing in the area of increasing the level of medical training specialists in their daily clinical practice and in the selection of the appropriate scenario before a real surgical operation. Descriptions of the projects carried out with the surgeons aimed at achieving the aforementioned goals were presented. The presented concepts are relatively new solutions, but their further development may lead to the extension of the field of application of these techniques in medicine, among others in relation to other specialties.

Highlights

  • The applications of traditional design and manufacturing for the purposes of daily clinical practice have many limitations, eg slow preparation and personalization of products

  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses electromagnetic radiation produced by radio waves harmless to the body, while in computed tomography (CT), the energy carrier is X waves or X-rays, which too often or too high doses can lead to DNA damage

  • The MeshLab and GOM Inspect application analyzed the devia-tions of the STL file for 3D printing from the mesh model with DICOM

Summary

Introduction

The applications of traditional design and manufacturing for the purposes of daily clinical practice have many limitations, eg slow preparation and personalization of products. They can give rise to a new family of commercial techniques that optimize 3D-based technologies for 3D printing in a fully functional clinical solution. It should be mentioned that computer aided methods are used in various fields of medicine, such as in cardiology, dentistry, and in the field of telemedicine applications [12-14]
