Development of 3D Printing Software for Medical Customized Treatments

Abstract

3D printing technology is widely used in the medical field. In particular, many customized treatments are being produced and studied. Customized treatments can be created using 3D printers, and 3D models and Gcodes for individuals can be created using tomographic images. It is important to create a 3D model by precise segmentation of tomographic images. In order to increase the precision of segmentation, we applied the adaptive thresholding method with morphological process. We applied a look-up table to quickly correct holes and vertex errors in 3D models. In this paper, we proposed the 3D printing software development method for customized treatments.
