Title: | Custom surgical implants using additive manufacturing | Authors: | POUKENS, Jules Laeven, Paul Beerens, Maikel Koper, David Lethaus, Bernd Kessler, Peter Vander Sloten, Jos LAMBRICHTS, Ivo |
Issue Date: | 2010 | Publisher: | ddn-online | Source: | Digital Dental News, (4). p. 30-33 | Abstract: | Similar to the current developments in dentistry, CAD/CAM and Additive Manufacturing (AM) are getting increasing attention in the medical sector as well. One of the most important medical fields is cranio-maxillofacial surgery where defects of the face (e.g. absence of a nose, ear or eye) have a severe psycho-social impact. Innovative software options and additive manufacturing methods enable the conversion of scans into a virtual three-dimensional model, virtual design of medical parts and subsequent production of these custom implants from a solid or resorbable material. | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/10924 | Link to publication/dataset: | http://www.ddn-online.net/epaper/ddn0410/index.php | ISSN: | 1863-7957 | Category: | A3 | Type: | Journal Contribution |
