Abstract

Medical 3D printing is emerging as a clinically relevant imaging tool in Directing preoperative and intraoperative planning in many surgical specialties and will therefore likely lead to interdisciplinary collaboration between engineers, radiologists, and surgeons. 3D printer technology is one of the innovations brought by the industrial age. It has been in our lives for many years. This miracle manufacturing method has been frequently preferred for medical applications in recent years. The main aim of this project is to minimise the time and cost for the design and manufacturing of the prosthesis. Getting the DICOM file from the MRI or CT scan which gives the body part dimensions (or) views of the body part in different directions . AUTODESK MESHMIXER and 3D SLICER software’s are used to extract and design the 3D prosthetic body part in this project, flexible Biomaterial is gone to be used for the flexibility in the respiration process. There are a lot uses of 3D printing technology in surgery, pharmaceutical industry, disease modelling, development of customized implants and prostheses, organ printing, vet medicine and tissue engineering applications have been explained and this new method compared with traditional methods that used in the biomedical field. In addition, this study includes future opportunities that are expected to become widespread and developed in the future. Keywords: 3D Printing, DICOM File, AUTODESK MESHMIXER, 3D Slicer.
