Biomechanical evaluation of additively manufactured patient-specific mandibular cage implants designed with a semi-automated workflow: A cadaveric and retrospective case study

Objective: Mandibular reconstruction using patient-specific cage implants is a promising alternative to the vascularized free flap reconstruction for nonirradiated patients with adequate soft tissues, or for patients whose clinical condition is not conducive to microsurgical reconstruction. This study aimed to assess the biomechanical...

Topographical scanning and reproduction of near-planar surfaces of paintings

Paintings are near-planar objects with material characteristics that vary widely. The fact that paint has a material presence is often overlooked, mostly because we often encounter these artworks in the form of two-dimensional reproductions. Capturing paintings in the third dimension is not only important for study, restoration and conservation,...
