Abstract
Additive Manufacturing (AM) is growing rapidly day by day. In AM sector, medical is one of the fastest growing industry. In the initial days the patient anatomy was analyzed using X-rays where only the 2-Dimensional (2D) representation is made. Later the improvements resulted in the 3D image acquisition with the help of Computed Tomography (CT) scanners, where the data is stored in Digital imaging and communication in medicine (DICOM) images. These DICOM images were used as the source for medical software's to from 3D CAD data. This 3D data is used for virtual simulation and for planning in case of some surgeries. The latest advancement in this is the creation of patient specific physical models. These models contain almost exact replication of the patient anatomy. The surgeon can pre plan the surgery in advance and explore important information before operating the patient's body. In the current work the procedure, advantages and limitations of the medical models along with the case study were discussed.
