Abstract

3D techniques are a technology that can revolutionise the medical field in terms of customisation and personalisation. Various studies and ongoing practices, which are becoming more and more numerous, have demonstrated the potential of 3D techniques in medicine. However, before they can be adopted, their impact on the procedures that they can contribute optimally must be considered. The purpose of this thesis is to examine, using 3D techniques, the management of procedures in the medical field. To begin with, the three-dimensional technique of additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, was discussed. The literature survey demonstrated the processes of additive manufacturing, then focusing on its uses in the medical field, which has seen an increase in publications in recent years. Using this literature, the medical applications of additive manufacturing were classified into five areas and their uses were analysed. Then, the process of additive manufacturing for a medical product was identified and analysed. For the adoption of additive manufacturing in medicine there needs to be a study of its impact on existing procedures and its potential to transform them. Consequently, six factors play a vital role in the impact of prosthetic manufacturing management processes. The birth of a hybrid role affects the medical ecosystem and the respective management of each organization was found to be one of the key factors for its adoption. Finally, using reverse engineering-3D scanning, the experimental stage of scanning a human femur model was carried out and with the help of a design software and 3D printing, a surgical plate was printed.
