Point out the importance of verifying the accuracy of the part prior to exporting STL. Show the contours of the 3D model on the original images.

stl file for 3D printing.Įxport to 3Matic: I would demonstrate the tools for cleaning and preparing the part for printingWrap to fill small holesįix wizard to make sure the part is watertight for printingĬopy-Paste the completed file from 3-matic back to Mimics. The 3D object can further exported into 3Matic for additional changes or exported as an. It will preserve only the bone that is desired in the mask.Ĭalculate 3D from Mask: Once the mask is edited the way you need, you will Calculate 3D object from the Mask. Region Growing: In order to remove floating voxels and detach unwanted bony anatomy, the Region Growing tool is applied. The mask shows only bone in the scan.Įdit mask in 3D: Before i create a new 3D mask, i can edit my current mask to make changes such as removing unwanted pieces and cropping the unwanted areas before moving forward.

After the thresholding is applied a new Mask is created. You are able to load multiple scans into a single project.Īpply thresholding: Mimics has built in presets for CT bone, soft-tissue, etc. After the files are loaded, the software detects the appropriate scan studies that are present. To give a demonstration on how the software is easy to use, I will use a CT scan of my own head. There are many things that I enjoy when using this software, including:įast processing time, <30 minutes for many projects It is capable of converting CT, MRI, and 3D ultrasound images into 3D models that are ready for the 3D printer. The software receives regular updates to improve functionality and increase the efficiency and quality of the. The software is available for computers running Windows. For our 3D Printing Program I use the Mimics Innovation Suite made by Materialise. There are several options for clinicians to use when converting a patients.
