A Structured Approach for the Design and Manufacturing of Titanium Cranial Prostheses via Sheet Metal Forming

Abstract: Currently, the growing need for highly customized implants has become one of the key aspects to increase the life expectancy and reduce time and costs for prolonged hospitalizations due to premature failures of implanted prostheses. According to the literature, several technological solutions are considered suitable to achieve the necessary geometrical complexity, from the conventional subtractive approaches to the more innovative additive solutions. In the case of cranial prostheses, which must guarantee a ve… Show more

“…Another important aspect in the manufacture of highly customized implants is the need for a perfect fitting between the geometry of the prosthesis and the anatomy of the specific patient; in fact, micro-movements between the two parts can cause the onset of infections [8]. In the light of this non-negligible aspect, increasingly advanced manufacturing technologies, such as additive manufacturing [9], superplastic and incremental forming [10] capable of guaranteeing very complex shapes, are nowadays a functional solution for reducing these risks.…”
