AbstractContemporary surgical microscope systems have excellent optical properties but some desirable features remain unavailable. The number of co-observers is currently restricted, by spatial and optical limitations, to only two. Moreover, ergonomics poses are a problem: Current microscope systems impede free movement and sometimes demand that surgeons take uncomfortable postures over long periods of time. To rectify these issues, some companies developed surgical microscope systems based on a streaming approach. These systems remove some of the limitations. Multi-observer positions, for example, are not independent from each other, for example. In order to overcome the aforementioned limitations, we are currently developing an approach for the next generation of surgical microscope: Namely the fully digital surgical microscope, where the current observation system is replaced with a camera array, allowing real-time 3D reconstruction of surgical scenes and, consequently, the rendering of almost unlimited views for multiple observers. These digital microscopes could make the perspective through the microscope unnecessary allowing the surgeon to move freely and work in more comfortable postures. The requirements on the camera array in such a system have to be determined. For this purpose, we propose of estimation the minimal number of cameras and their positions needed for the 3D reconstruction of microsurgical scenes. The method of estimation is based on the requirements for the 3D reconstruction. Within the MATLAB simulation environment, we have developed a 3D model of a microsurgical scene, used for the determination of the number of required cameras. In a next step a small, compact and costefficient system with few opto-mechanical components could be manufactured.

Fused deposition modelling (FDM) is a process of joining materials based on material entrusion technique to produce objects from 3D model using layer-by-layer technique as opposed to subtractive manufacturing. However, many challenges arise in the FDM-printed part such as warping, first layer problem and elephant food that was led to an error in dimensional accuracy of the printed parts especially for the overhanging parts. Hence, in order to investigate the manufacturability of the FDM printed part, various geometrical and manufacturing features were developed using the benchmarking artifacts. Therefore, in this study, new benchmarking artifacts containing multiple overhang lengths were proposed. After the benchmarking artifacts were developed, each of the features were inspected using 3D laser scanner to measure the dimensional accuracy and tolerances. Based on 3D scanned parts, 80% of the fabricated parts were fabricated within ±0.5 mm of dimensional accuracy as compared with the CAD data. In addition, the multiple overhang lengths were also successfully fabricated with a very significant of filament sagging observed.
