초록

Making physical models of human body is not only time-consuming but also very expensive since they are usually hand-made. This problem is doubled with implant fabrication because an implant is almost always custom-made. Recently, RP is emerging as an alternative, and many RP applications are proposed in the medical field. The major advantage of this approach is due to a significant reduction of both time and cost required or the production. However, the technology is not much in practical use yet, especially in Korea. In this paper, we provide a method of generating STL files that are the standard format to RP machines. The original data are obtained from two-dimensional slices of MRI/CT machine. Example bone models have been produced using a commercially available RP machine, and the results are presented.
