A review of rapid prototyping (RP) techniques in the medical and biomedical sector
Abstract
The evolution of rapid prototyping (RP) technology is briefly discussed, and the application of RP technologies to the medical sector is reviewed. Although the use of RP technology has been slow arriving in the medical arena, the potential of the technique is seen to be widespread. Various uses of the technology within surgical planning, prosthesis development and bioengineering are discussed. Some possible drawbacks are noted in some applications, owing to the poor resolution of CT slice data in comparison with that available on RP machines, but overall, the methods are seen to be beneficial in all areas, with one early report suggesting large improvements in measurement and diagnostic accuracy as a result of using RP models.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
