Dr. Mike Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Dear Members, We have just made a series of high quality bone models available for download in the File Vault. These STL files are all water tight (manifold) and have been manually edited and run through 3D printing optimization software to ensure that they have a minimum wall thickness (1mm) to enable 3D printing. Arm Humerus Shoulder joint Elbow joint Lumbar spine fracture Embodi3D members can download these models for free. Thanks to Dr. Bruno Gobbato for submitting the original files. More files will be released as we perform quality checks and corrections. Enjoy! Dr. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlad Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Does anyone have any experience printing orthopaedic bone models in FDM machine filaments (PLA, ABS, nylon, etc) esp for surgical instrumentation in a mock lab (surgical simulation) and designed as a functional part that approximates the feel of healthy bone (cortical vs medullary bone)? If so can you please share your recommendations for optimized Cura settings, such as in-fill percentage and outer shell thickness, for drilling and plating practice? Also did you find a particular filament plastic you liked for this kind of functional model of bones? I'm leaning toward HIPS for ease of PLA with acetone post-processing benefits of ABS. I'm also looking at Taulman nylon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
