3-D Biomodelling
• 3-D visualization computerized and physical
models of the anatomy.
• Possibility of pre-surgical planning, which will be
important to diminish surgical risks and to
achieve a much better definition of all surgical
acts.
• Easier communication between patient and
surgeons.
• Establishment of biofuncionality criteria.
• Fabrication of custom-made implants and
prostheses specifically adapted to the host site of
implantation of a particular patient.

3-D Biomodelling
“The ability to replicate the morphology of a biological
structure and the processing of such data by a computer to
generate de code required to manufacture the structure by
rapid prototyping apparatus”
Rapid prototyping
• Stereolithography (SLA)
• Selective Laser sintering (SLS)
• 3-D Printing
