Rapid prototyping and manufacturing for model of human head

Abstract

Modeling of the human body has advanced in recent years with the rapid development of computer technology and the needs of the real digital and physical models. This paper describes an example of a rapid development of a model of a human head, on the basis of STL-format, which includes a digital information chain CAD / CAM / CNC, to a level which allows the successful realization of the physical models using new technology, by adding and subtracting material. In this paper is presented a photogrammetric method of obtaining STL model, where new technologies are applied for rapid prototyping. For several examples of 3D printing are shown and software for verification of programs and simulation of 3D printing.
