Abstract

The rapid developments of additive technology bestirred the interested to application of this technology for different filed. In the biomedical and prosthesis engineering, this technology especially contributes to solve the sophisticated problems from generating the surgical models, and tissue engineering to detect the defected zone of anatomy. In the introduced paper a suggested strategies have been adopted to create a printable model for the human’s head depending on the row data from the CT or MRI with DICOM format and the software of medical data processing. The additive manufacturing based on 3D printing technology has been used to produce the 3D physical models of the face parts. Surface roughness for the created models have been measured, which ranged (0.65-1.846) ℳm for the printed modes, also an image processing technique have been adopted to compare the dimensional accuracy between the prototypes and the DICOM image, where the maximum deviation value was (0.8mm). The adopted strategies were simplified to use by any interested in biomedical domain, and proved a good effectualness to create any suggested human body parts
