Design and Additive Manufacturing of a Biomimetic Customized Cranial Implant Based on Voronoi Diagram

Design and Additive Manufacturing of a Biomimetic Customized Cranial Implant Based on Voronoi Diagram

Reconstruction of cranial defects is an arduous task for craniomaxillofacial surgeons. Additive manufacturing (AM) or three-dimensional (3D) printing of titanium patient-specific implants (PSIs) made its way into cranioplasty, improving the clinical outcomes in complex surgical procedures. There has...
