Image processing and Rapid prototyping (or 3D Printing) has changed the way we design and produce patient specific medical solutions. 3D printing is an additive manufacturing technique; a process through which a three-dimensional solid object, virtually of any shape, is generated starting from a digital model.
3D printing technology represents a paradigm shift in pharmaceutical and medical research and is enabling creation of more specific drugs, rapid production of medical implants and changing the way that doctors and surgeons plan procedures.
The basic idea behind medical 3d printing is conversion of medical imaging data into usable; virtual and physical 3d models, which can then be used for further processing and production of patient specific devices and implants. Five technical steps are required to finalize a printed model. They include:
