Development of Cranium Using Mimics and Rapid Prototyping Using ANSYS

The project is real case study, a patient who suffered from cranial or skull damage by accident. Here we discussed about the accurate three dimensional finite element analysis of cranium using mimics and rapid prototyping. By using CT scan images, which comes in multiple slices of DICOM (.dcm) file format recommended slice of this images varies from 0.5mm to 1mm minimum slice layer thickness will give accurate and perfect data. In mimics software all the CT scan images get converted from 2d to 3d surface and then go through into simulation. This 3d design template is remeshed. The designed template is reconstructed by using RP machine and then by keeping the result of accurate 3d analysis using mimics.In this project, the effects of bone quantity and bone quality on stress distributions in a cranium model with implant-supported complete skull are investigated using the finite element method. In implant cranium, predictable outcomes of implant treatment is most desired and many clinical studies have reported success rates higher than 90% for various implant systems. Hence, it is mandatory to study these effects on stress distribution in bone and implant with a three-dimensional model that closely mimics that in the clinical situation.
