| Abstract Scope |
Additive manufacturing (AM) is increasingly used to produce patient-specific surgical guides for complex procedures like canine maxillectomy. However, the accuracy of these guides can be significantly influenced by the choice of printing technology, process parameters, and material properties. This study investigates the impact of three factors - printer type (DLP, SLA, MJ), resin formulation, and build orientation - on the dimensional accuracy of maxillectomy cutting guides. Guides were designed based on CT data, manufactured using different combinations of printer type, resin, and orientation, and measured using coordinate metrology. Statistical analysis was performed to determine the main effects and interactions of the factors on guide accuracy. The results provide insights into the optimal selection of printing technologies and parameters for producing high-precision surgical guides, ultimately improving the predictability and outcomes of these delicate procedures. |
