Abstract
<p xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" class="first" dir="auto"
id="d2930439e59">The purpose of this study was to determine the factors affecting
the accuracy of 3D
models and 3D prints of cranial blunt force trauma, to evaluate the applicability
and limitations of modeling such injuries. Three types of cranial blunt force lesions
were documented (hinge, depressed, and comminuted) using three forms of surface scanning
(laser, structured light scanner, and photogrammetry) at two different quality settings
(standard and high). 3D printed models of the lesions were produced using two different
materials (a gypsum-like composite powder called VisiJet® PXL and an acrylic engineered
composite plastic called VisiJet® M3 in crystal colour). The results of these analyzes
indicate the prints in this study exhibit some statistically significant differences
from the actual bone lesions, but details of the lesions can be reproduced to within
2 mm accuracy.
