Abstract
Computer-aided techniques can be used in the reconstruction of defects in the skull, although there are limitations for large defects. We describe a technique for the digital design of an implant for cranioplasty using one, easy-to-use, piece of generic industrial software that shows a curvature-based, hole-filling algorithm. This approach is suitable for all kinds of defects, including those that extend across the midline of the skull. The workflow gives the user full control over the design, production, and material used for the implant.
