| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In recent years, the use of medical 3D models created with 3D printers for surgical simulations has been increasing. However, the costs are generally high. If medical 3D models could be created inexpensively, it might become possible to respond to more needs, and personal 3D printers could potentially solve this problem. We created 3D models with three types of 3D printers and three modeling materials, and then evaluated their dimensional accuracies.
Based on this series of modeling experiences, to promote the spread of 3D printers in the oral and maxillofacial surgery field, we consider it to be necessary to establish an appropriate and simple CAD data construction method, to understand the CAD technology combined with medical knowledge including anatomy and surgery, and to understand the modeling characteristics of 3D printers.
