Workflow for additive manufacturing of an individualized surgical template
Journal Title: Proceedings in Manufacturing Systems - Year 2015, Vol 10, Issue 3
Abstract
Individualized surgical templates are becoming increasingly used in the medicinal field due to their advantages, ensuring better orientation during intervention, decrease of the surgery time and costs, risks of infections and X-ray exposure during surgery. Moreover, their use enrolls in the modern approach of personalized medicine, which envisions tailoring interventions and instruments according to patient’ characteristics and needs. This article presents the workflow for design and manufacturing orthopedics guides using additive technology. A customized osteotomy template for hand is presented as case study, exemplifying the integration between different applications (for medical modeling, .stl files correction, 3D CAD guide modeling, virtual model viewer and annotation, etc.) and serving to the deployment of an intelligent online platform which can support guides’ design and manufacturing process automation. Moreover, this platform contributes to a better communication between surgeon and engineer, thus helping bridging the gap between two fields which have specific professional languages, evaluation criteria, etc.
