Computer biomodeling and laser stereolithography

Abstract

This paper presents the results of works of ILIT RAS on introduction of computer biomodeling and laser stereolithography into medicine practice, and the results of the experiments on 1) rapid manufacture of plastic copies of fragments of the human skeleton; 2) creation of computer models of implants for maxillofacial surgery, fabrication of their plastic copies and moulds for fabrication of implants from biocompatible materials; 3) direct fabrication of biocompatible and bioactive implants for substitution of bone tissue defects.
