Abstract

ABSTRACT: Rapid prototyping (RP) is an innovative technology that allows one to obtain a prototype of a mold quickly and accurately from a virtual model. This study aimed to establish the use of photogrammetry and 3D prototyping for the production of bone biomodels of the canine species for training in orthopedic techniques in veterinary medicine. Virtual bio-modelling was performed by the photogrammetry technique with commercial anatomical pieces, and physical biomodelling was performed by 3D printing. Osteotomies were performed on the biomodels that served as platforms for osteosynthesis of the femur and ileum, and the final product was not associated with a risk of biological contamination, was able to support special orthopedic materials, and was used for training and surgical planning. We concluded that the use of photogrammetry and RP for the production of bone biomodels of the canine species enabled techniques for fracture reduction to be performed with the use of special instruments, enabling training in the area of veterinary orthopedics in an economically viable manner with an alternative to experimental animals.

Highlights

  • RESUMO: A prototipagem rápida (PR) é uma tecnologia inovadora que permite obter o protótipo de um molde com rapidez e precisão a partir de um modelo virtual

  • Rapid prototyping (RP) is a technology that has been recently developed and enables one to quickly and accurately prototype a mold from a virtual model generated in a computer-aided design program, enabling the direct transformation of projects into end products for various uses (BORDELO, 2018; SEARS et al, 2016)

  • Virtual bio-modelling is required to obtain a digital model that reproduces the morphological characteristics of a structure, and the image can be enhanced through specific software
