摘要

乳腺癌是世界上诊断最多的癌症类型,乳房切除术切除肿瘤仍然很常见。外部乳房假体(EBP)可以减少消融造成的不对称。一些政府不承担这种辅助技术的费用,女性最终使用装满种子的袜子和织物口袋来模拟手术中损失的体积。这项研究旨在为这些女性提供一个体面的解决方案,符合人体工程学,但仍然负担得起。设计/方法/方法作者采访了20名切除乳房的巴西女性,听取她们的诉说,并对她们进行3D扫描,以产生个性化的外部轻量级乳房假体。作者使用了计算机辅助设计和计算机辅助制造的免费软件,以及低成本的3D打印机。本研究从定制产品的策略出发,将该方法推广到大规模定制假肢,在减少个性化的同时,保留设计的最佳特征。本研究实现了一种低成本、符合人体工程学的定制乳房外假体制造方法。以前的文献使用昂贵的扫描仪、软件和打印机。研究局限性/启示作者在大流行期间验证了这种方法,这限制了作者可以接触到的患者数量。这影响了作者将最终产品的颜色与真实皮肤相匹配的可能性。然而,作者明白,由于人类皮肤的特殊特性,最终产品的颜色精度是具有挑战性的。使用作者提出的方法,可以使用低成本的资源制造个性化的外部乳房假体,为更多的乳腺癌幸存者提供更好的生活质量。

Method for manufacturing ergonomic bespoke external breast prostheses using low-cost computer-aided technology
Purpose Breast cancer is the most diagnosed type of cancer in the world, and mastectomies to remove tumors are still common. An external breast prosthesis (EBP) can be used to minimize the asymmetry, due to the ablation. Some governments do not cover costs of that assistive technology, and women end up using socks and fabric pockets filled with seeds, to simulate the volume lost in the surgery. This study aims to offer to those women a decent solution, ergonomic, but still affordable. Design/methodology/approach The authors interviewed 20 mastectomized Brazilian women, listened to their relate and 3D scanned them, to give rise to personalized external lightweight breast prostheses. The authors used free software for computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing, and low-cost 3D printers. From the strategy of bespoke products, this study generalized the method, to conceive mass customized prostheses, in a compromise solution that reduces personalization, conserving the best features of design. Findings This study achieved a method to manufacture ergonomic, bespoke external breast prostheses, using low-cost technology. Previous literature made them using expensive scanners, software and printers. Research limitations/implications The authors validated this method during pandemic, which restricted the number of patients the authors could have access to. This impacted authors’ possibility to work on matching the color of the final product and real skin. The authors understood, though, that precision of color, in the final product, is challenging, because of the peculiar aspects of human skin. Originality/value Using the method the authors proposed, personalized external breast prostheses can be manufactured using low-cost resources, democratizing better quality of life for more breast cancer survivors.

期刊介绍: Rapid Prototyping Journal concentrates on development in a manufacturing environment but covers applications in other areas, such as medicine and construction. All papers published in this field are scattered over a wide range of international publications, none of which actually specializes in this particular discipline, this journal is a vital resource for anyone involved in additive manufacturing. It draws together important refereed papers on all aspects of AM from distinguished sources all over the world, to give a truly international perspective on this dynamic and exciting area. -Benchmarking – certification and qualification in AM- Mass customisation in AM- Design for AM- Materials aspects- Reviews of processes/applications- CAD and other software aspects- Enhancement of existing processes- Integration with design process- Management implications- New AM processes- Novel applications of AM parts- AM for tooling- Medical applications- Reverse engineering in relation to AM- Additive & Subtractive hybrid manufacturing- Industrialisation
