Nowadays, a lot of technologies have been developed in order to design and construct the product easily and economically. Rapid Prototyping (RP) technology is one of the most utilized technologies when it comes to creating the prototype parts. The purpose of this project is to implement the rapid prototyping technology as a great value tool in supporting medical activities with consideration fabrication cost of biomodel. The RP technique applied to fabricate the biomodel is FDM and the material used is Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS). The models produced by using RP bring the significant in educational and pre-medical surgical environments. The fabricated biomodels are useful to simplify the complex surgical procedures and the visualization of anatomical structures in educational environment.

Rapid Generation

3D printing is increasingly important for the rapid prototyping of advanced and tailor-made cell culture devices. In this context, stereolithography represents a method for the rapid generation of prototypes from photocurable polymers. However, the biocompatibility of commercially available photopolymers is largely unknown. Therefore, we evaluated the cytotoxicity of six polymers, two of them certified as biocompatible according to ISO 10993-5:2009, and we evaluated, if coating with Parylene, an inert polymer widely used in medical applications, might shield cells from the cytotoxic effects of a toxic polymer. In addition, we evaluated the processability, reliability, and consistency of the details printed. Human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were used for cytotoxicity testing as they are widely used and promising for numerous applications in regenerative medicine. MSCs were incubated together with printed photopolymers, and the cytotoxicity was assessed. All photopolymers significantly reduced the viability of MSCs while the officially biocompatible resins displayed minor toxic effects. Further, coating with Parylene completely protected MSCs from toxic effects. In conclusion, none of the tested polymers can be fully recommended for rapid prototyping of cell culture devices. However, coating with Parylene can shield cells from toxic effects and thus might represent a viable option until more compatible materials are available.
