Converting to Mimics
Over preceding decades, Additive Manufacturing plays a
1 appropriate format software
decisive role in various parts of Medicine from pre-surgery
planning to fabricating of custom-made porous scaffolds
especially in Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM).

Pre-surgery Medical models for Cutting Adding Support •AM techniques could be used in pre-surgery planning as well as fabricating bone
planning training purposes scaffold
[2] [2] •Based on size of the considerable cell, the size of pores in bone scaffold could be
designed.
•Fabricating custom-made implants is available with the assistant of getting
benefit from different software.
