2. Scope of the presentation…
• About Materialise
• Technical introduction:
- Starting from CT/MRI images, Mimics software can
make an accurate 3D reconstruction of the
anatomical structures and export STL files.
- 3-matic software is capable of designing implants
based on these 3D reconstructions, on STL level
(no reverse engineering necessary)
- The final implants can be produced by Direct Metal
Laser Sintering

8. What is Mimics?
3D Model
• Mimics allows you to:
• import scanned images
• select structures in the images
• These structures can then be
used for different applications…

9. Mimics provides:
• A link between scanned images and...
• Rapid Prototyping
• CAD
• Finite Element Analysis
• Surgical Procedure Simulation
10. Rapid Prototyping
• Use Mimics for the production
• of Medical Models
• Easy Creation of STL files
• Direct export to RP formats
• Create Supports in Mimics
• Color stereolithography
• Medical Models:
• Communication
• Surgery Preparation
• Proven to be very accurate
and useful
• (cfr. Phidias – European Dr. George A. Brown

• Rapid Prototyping
• CAD
• Finite Element Analysis
• Surgical Procedure Simulation
31. Strategy - Example
• Draw a curve around the defect Curve
• Make sure you draw it far
enough from the border since
we will make a tangential
hole filling
• Use the “Create Cranioplasty
Prosthesis” function
