Getting Started with 3D Printing, 2nd Edition

FIGURE 311: A patient's teeth 3D printed using high detail grey resin and an analog model cast from white gypsum (the traditional way

of making dental models). The veneers on the gypsum mold were fitted using the 3D printed models.

using 3D scanning, CAD modeling and 3D printing.

able casts for bone injuries. Figure 3-12 shows

the concept of 3D scanning a part of a patient’s

anatomy, creating a 3D printed cast based on that

particular patient's geometry, and then being able

to adjust the model over time if needed.

New medical applications using 3D printing

are being developed b
