Having played enough with simple models and household trifles, it was decided to raise my skill in 3D printing. The purpose of this planter was to learn how to glue parts of a modelka and process plastic with acetone. At the beginning, the skull model from thingiverse was cut into three parts and the skull was separated from it. This whole process was done in 3ds max (so far it seems to be the most convenient). The model was printed with 'emerald' ABS plastic from bestfilament bought at the time for a promotion. Printing was carried out at the settings recommended by the manufacturer.

Parts were glued together with the help of the same plastic dissolved in acetone to the state of semolina. First, the parts are glued on the inside and after setting, the seam is smeared on the outside.

After complete hardening, all irregularities are processed with sandpaper to the desired state.

Next, the model is processed several times with a cotton swab dipped in acetone. An acetone bath, in my opinion, is not very suitable in this case, since there was a big chance that the zygomatic bone and teeth would float.

Next, small details stand out a little with black enamel and a glossy acrylic varnish from a balloon is applied to the entire model. At the beginning, I thought to blow everything out with black paint and wipe off the excess with a napkin, but the paint was absorbed almost instantly. I had to print a new jaw.

The final look of the pot:

The result for the first treatment was quite satisfactory, however, with this gluing, more pigment is concentrated at the seams, so the color is darker there.

Scientists 3D printed a skull and saved a child's life

Any surgical operation requires extreme caution from doctors - one wrong move can cause the patient's death. You have to be especially careful with newborn children, because their bones are not formed, and their internal organs are very poorly protected from external influences. In February 2022, in one of the maternity hospitals in the Polish city of Rzeszow, a girl was born, the fifth lobe of the bone part of the head of which was not formed. Due to the fact that one of the areas of the child's skull was practically absent, her brain tissue remained partially exposed - if damaged, the girl was at risk of acquiring many health problems. Fortunately, the company Sygnis came to the rescue, which printed on a 3D printer an exact copy of her skull based on photographs. The layout literally saved the girl's life, but how? Is the skull of a child half made of plastic?

A 3D-printed skull saved the life of a newborn girl

A child with an underdeveloped skull

A newborn girl from Poland did not have an occipital bone formed. It is located below, on the back of the head, and is needed to protect many parts of the brain - for example, under the occipital bone is the cerebellum. This part of the brain is responsible for coordinating body movements, regulating balance and muscle tone. The volume of the cerebellum is only 10% of the volume of the entire brain, but it contains most of all cells of the nervous system.

Location of the bones of the skull

Based on the above, it turns out that a girl without an occipital bone could easily damage the cerebellum and in the future have problems with coordination of movements. The defect was not diagnosed during the mother's pregnancy - they learned about it only closer to the birth. The child was born, but was in a very dangerous position, so he was quickly transferred to a hospital in Krakow.

3D printed skull

Polish hospital specialists already knew that bone reconstruction was needed to save the girl's life. As noted at the beginning of the article, operations on children require meticulous care - surgeons needed to know exactly what shape the patient's brain has to within millimeters. Pictures cannot provide such accurate data, so the specialists turned to Sygnis, which has been engaged in 3D printing for a long time. It is reported that the firm has abandoned all its activities to make a model of the girl's head and help doctors save her life.

3D-printed skull helped save girl's life

Sygnis said they started printing as soon as they received scan data from a newborn baby's head. To avoid mistakes, they created two models at once on two 3D printers using two different materials. The best option turned out to be polyamide, which has great strength and is not damaged by contact with surgical instruments. All this took them only 24 hours - speed in this matter was very important, because in order to save the girl's life, the operation had to be carried out as soon as possible.

Surgeons have inserted a 3D-printed eye for the first time in history. Here are the details

How doctors saved a girl's life

A 3D printed model of the girl's skull showed the surgeons what they would have to deal with. Needless to say, she did not become part of the child's head, because with age, her skull will grow. On the created model, the surgeons conducted preoperative testing and, so to speak, "knocked their hand." Thanks to this training, the specialists successfully performed a bone reconstruction operation. More than six months have already passed since then, and it is known that everything is fine with the girl. This is another case where technology was able to save a person's life.

3D printing technology has long been used in medicine and saves lives

The skull model used for preoperative testing has been archived and will be used by students in the future. It is reported that after this incident, Sygnis produced another model - it helped with the treatment of a child with a hernia and scoliosis.
