  • To enhance visualization and surgical planning capabilities.

Main Methods:

  • Acquiring and processing 3-D CT data.
  • Utilizing a high-speed milling device to shape high-density styrodur.
  • Fabricating life-size skull models, including skeletal and soft tissue contours.

Main Results:

  • Successful fabrication of individual, life-size skull models.
  • Capability to enlarge specific bone sections up to eight times.
  • Demonstrated potential for 3-D surgical planning and custom implant modeling.

Conclusions:

  • The described milling procedure provides a precise method for creating anatomical skull models.
  • This technique supports advanced craniofacial surgical planning and the creation of custom implants.
  • The technology offers enhanced visualization for complex surgical cases.
