Medical Implants by Using RP and Investment Casting Technologies

摘要：

The paper deals with the production technology of knee joint replacement by using Rapid Prototyping technology.The Alm of the work is to outline the manufacturing technology intended for prototype production with the use of Rapid Prototyping and Investment Casting Technology in orthopaedics and surgery of knee joint replacement. The research results should make an effective contribution to the attempts of minimizing of the invasive surgical procedure, shortening of the production of knee joint replacement as well as cost reduction.At present, the research is focused on the preparation of STL dates from CT (computed tomography) and verification of the production technology of prototypes made of avAllable RP technology and its evaluation.
