    摘要: Direct slicing of CAD models to generate process planning instructions for solid freeform fabrication may overcome inherent disadvantages of using STL format in terms of the process accuracy, ease of file management, and incorporation of multiple materials. This paper will present the results of our development of a direct slicing algorithm for layered freeform fabrication. The direct slicing algorithm was based on a neutral, international standard (ISO 10303) STEP-formatted NURBS geometric representation and is intended to be independent of any commercial CAD software. The following aspects of the development effort will be presented: 1) Determination of optimal build direction based upon STEP-based NURBS models; 2) Adaptive subdivision of NURBS data for geometric refinement; and 3) Ray-casting slice generation into sets of raster patterns. Feasibility studies applying the direct slicing algorithm to example models and the generation of fabrication planning instructions involving multi-material structures will also be presented.

    摘要: The invention is directed to a bone putty composition comprising a carrier formulation comprising water and a carrier substance, and granules wherein said bone putty composition exhibits gel-like Theological properties throughout the temperature range between about body temperature and temperatures approaching about 0° C. The bone putty composition further exhibits reverse phase Theological behavior in at least a portion of the same temperature range. The granules may comprise tricalcium phosphate (hereinafter “TCP”) or other calcium phosphates, they may be porous, and they are suspended in the carrier formulation. In one embodiment of the invention, the bone putty composition withstands exposure to certain temperatures below about room temperature without precipitation of the granules from suspension.

    摘要: A bone graft that is made at least partially of synthetic material and is of a suitable shape to fill a recess around the base of an ailing/failing endosseous implant. The bone graft may be pre-manufactured in the suitable shape. The invention also comprises a method of installing either such a bone graft or any other type of filler. The invention also comprises various types of bone graft profiler tools suitable for preparing the recess, and optionally an alignment post to assist in the use of the bone graft profiler tool(s). The dimensions of the bone graft profiler tool(s) and the dimensions of the bone graft and the dimensions of the alignment post may be chosen to have defined geometric relationships with respect to each other, with respect to the dimensions of the existing implant base, and with respect to the extent of bone deterioration at a particular implant site in a particular patient.
