Development of 3D Printable Bone Model with Fracture Lines for Additive Manufacturing Applications

Abstract:

This study proposes a design process for printable bone models featuring fracture lines. The bone model was printed using a low-cost dual-head FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) machine. Two different colors were used to identify the bone model and the fracture lines. Real bone model fractures with fracture lines were prepared and printed to verify the feasibility of the proposed method.
