Rapid Prototyping as a Tool of Fabricating Biomodel in Medical Applications: Technique and Cost Evaluation

Abstract:

Nowadays, a lot of technologies have been developed in order to design and construct the product easily and economically. Rapid Prototyping (RP) technology is one of the most utilized technologies when it comes to creating the prototype parts. The purpose of this project is to implement the rapid prototyping technology as a great value tool in supporting medical activities with consideration fabrication cost of biomodel. The RP technique applied to fabricate the biomodel is FDM and the material used is Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS). The models produced by using RP bring the significant in educational and pre-medical surgical environments. The fabricated biomodels are useful to simplify the complex surgical procedures and the visualization of anatomical structures in educational environment.
