Abstract
Image processing algorithms, CAD-CAM tools and rapid prototyping (RP) techniques are able to produce complex lumen artery replicas. This work presents a system for manufacturing the lumen of human carotid from computed tomography acquisition. The pipe-line of manufacturing process of a human carotid lumen replication is presented. Each stage of the pipe-line is briefly discussed. Technical details of the 3D surface
reconstruction phase, based on the Open Cascade geometric modelling software, and the RP manufaturing process based on Fused Deposition Modelling are presented.
