Case study: success with cranioplasties adopting 3D printed molds

In a case involving a 23 year old woman presenting with a benign change in the bones of her skull, a 3D printed mold has facilitated the custom production of a PMMA implant to replace diseased cranial bone. A 3D printed mold has proven successful in the custom production and development of a polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) implant, destined to replaced diseased cranial bone in a young woman.
