  Additive Manufacturing (AM) is one of the advanced engineering manufacturing process and the application of this process is entered into each and every industry. This process best suits for production of each part uniquely. This technology best fits for medical and dental industry, where each patient has unique anatomy. Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are the major input data source for the AM medical software's. The medical data is usually stored in Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM) file format. In the current days the most of the CT scanners are of multi slice scanners, which help to acquire maximum data of patient anatomy with in minimum time. Once CT data acquisition is done the reconstruction of data will start. In reconstruction of CT data slice thickness, slice increment and field of view pa.. View More»
