Development of 3D Printed Life Size Replica of a Bone from CT Scan Data
摘要
Advancements in medical science have rapidly progressed in recent times, with developments in medical technology and additive manufacturing paving the way for innovative healthcare solutions. One such breakthrough is biomodelling, which involves creating accurate physical models of human body parts. These 3D replicas can allow for a precise understanding of medical issues. This paper presents a structured methodology for developing a life-size 3D-printed bone replica from CT scan data. Processing of CT scan data, .stl file refinement, and comparative study of FDM and SLS 3D printing techniques. The present work evaluates print accuracy, structural integrity, and material properties, demonstrating that SLS printing offers superior resolution and strength. A comparative chart highlights improvements over existing methods. The findings support applications in surgical planning, medical education, and personalized prosthetics.
