Abstract: PurposeThe goal of rapid mechanical prototyping is to be able to quickly fabricate complex‐shaped, 3D parts directly from computer‐aided design models. The key idea of this novel technology is based upon decomposition of 3D computer models data into thin cross‐sectional layers, followed by physically forming the layers and stacking them up; “layer by layer technique.” This new method of modeling has raised many attentions in dentistry especially in the field of surgery and implantology. The purpose of this rev… Show more

“…The proportion of papers presented on medical modelling fell in comparison to those focussed on direct implant production or XCT inspection and metrology, but a large number of studies furthered research during this time, a selection of which can be seen in references [1,[37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44]. This period showed a prevalence of the use of XCT in the design of various implants, summarised in a paper that detailed recent advances in production of tissue-engineering scaffolds [45].…”

“…Applications of XCT and AM use in dentistry are extensive and would easily form the subject of a separate review. Azari and Nikzad [1] examined the use of rapid prototyping in dentistry in 2009, summarising developments up until that point. This introduction details various AM process families as well as the basic principles of XCT.…”

“…The image processing is of crucial importance in order to reduce existing noise, a procedure performed on each of the patient's tomographic cuts (layer to layer). If necessary, the image can still be enhanced using other software which allow the division of the parts of the 3D polygonal mesh [17][18] .…”

“…As reported by Dimitrov et al (2006) and Wohlers (2010), 3DP has been recognised as a "very competitive process in terms of cost and speed", and the number of 3D printing machines sold during 2009 had risen by 18% over 2008. 3DP systems from Z-Corporporation have a fast fabrication time, a low material cost, the option of colour, and build parts that can be used directly for casting (Azari and Nikzad, 2009). It was also reported that if companies were to invest in RP, the most popular choice (28%) would be 3DPs (Strategic Direction, 2009).…”
