Abstract

Since 3D printed medical implant parts usually have surface defects, it is necessary to inspect the surface after manufacturing. In order to automate the surface inspection, it is effective to 3D scan the implant and reconstruct it as a scan model such as a point cloud. When constructing a scan model, the characteristics of the shape and material of the implant must be considered because it has characteristics different from those of general 3D printed parts. In this paper, we present a method to reconstruct the 3D scan model of a 3D printed metal bone-plate that is one kind of medical implant parts. Multiple partial scan data are produced by multi-view 3D scan, and then, we reconstruct a scan model by alignment and merging of partial data. We also present the process of the scan model reconstruction through experiments.

3D 출력된 의료용 임플란트(implant) 부품은 보통 표면에 결함이 발생되므로, 출력 후 표면을 검사하는 과정이 필요하다. 자동화된 표면 검사를 수행하기 위해서는 임플란트를 3D 스캔하여 점군(point cloud)과 같은 스캔 모델로 복원하는 방법이 효과적이다. 스캔 모델을 구성할 때, 임플란트는 일반적인 3D 출력 제조 부품과 다른 특성들을 가지므로, 임플란트의 형태와 재료의 특성에 대한 고려가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 의료용 임플란트 부품의 한 종류인 금속 bone-plate의 3D 출력물에 대해 스캔 모델로 복원하는 방법을 제안한다. 다각도의 시점에서 3D 스캔을 수행하여 다수의 부분 스캔 데이터를 생성한 뒤, 이들에 대해 정렬(alignment)과 정합(merging)을 수행하여 스캔 모델로 복원한다. 또한, 실험을 통해 스캔 모델로 복원하는 과정을 보인다.
