1) Understand the basic principle of Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing) and how it differs from subtractive technology. 2) Understand the principles of the software needed to convert Medical Images into three-dimensional printed models and what factors contribute to the quality of each model. 3) Become familiar with the different types of Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing) technologies.
This presentation will provide a novice to Additive Manufacturing the
general knowledge applicable to the medical field. The basic principles
of Additive manufacturing (3D Printing) will be discussed along with the
different technologies which encompass the field. The steps of converting
radiographic images into three-dimensional printable files and the
differences between the multitude of additive manufacturing techniques will
be the primary focuses.
