Driedimensionaal beeld van de mandibula met aan beide zijden een gefractureerd corpus mandibulae; vooraanzicht.
Rapid prototyping is een methode die het mogelijk maakt een driedimensionaal model te vervaardigen op basis van tweedimensionale beeldvorming. Voor modellering bestaan verschillende methoden, zoals stereolithografie, selectief lasersinteren, laser-metaalsinteren, twee-fotonpolymerisatie, gelamineerde objectmodellering, driedimensionaal printen, driedimensionaal plotten, polyjet inkjettechnologie, gefuseerde depositiemodellering, vacuümgieten en frezen. De diverse methoden die in de biomedische sector worden toegepast, verschillen onderling in productieproces, materiaal en eigenschappen van het geproduceerde driedimensionale model. Rapid prototyping wordt vooral gebruikt voor preoperatieve planning, simulatie, educatie en onderzoek naar en ontwikkeling van de biotechnologische mogelijkheden.
Rapid prototyping: a very promising method
Rapid prototyping is a method which makes it possible to produce a threedimensional model based on two-dimensional imaging. Various rapid prototyping methods are available for modelling, such as stereolithography, selective laser sintering, direct laser metal sintering, two-photon polymerization, laminated object manufacturing, three-dimensional printing, threedimensional plotting, polyjet inkjet technology, fused deposition modelling, vacuum casting and milling. The various methods currently being used in the biomedical sector differ in production, materials and properties of the three-dimensional model which is produced. Rapid prototyping is mainly used for preoperative planning, simulation, education, and research into and development of bioengineering possibilities.
