During the past years, the three-dimensional printing (3DP) has become a dominant rapid prototyping (RP) technology due to its very viable process in terms of cost, speed, and sales of related equipment. Nowadays, numerous 3DP based RP services are available. Because of the capability, service quality, and pricing of the services varies, how to select a suitable 3DP based RP service provider is very critical to the companies being engaged in new product developments. However, the issue was seldom studied. To resolve this problem, a hybrid multiple-criteria decision making (HMCDM) framework for evaluating and enhancing an appropriate 3DP based RP service provider based on the Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) based Network Process (DNP) as well as VIKOR (VIseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje) was proposed. The analytic framework was verified as feasible by an empirical study based on the opinions being provided by 3DP and RP experts. The well-verified framework can serve as the basis of future evaluation, selection, and enhancement of 3DP based RP service providers.

AbstractIn the context of product development, the term rapid prototyping (RP) is widely used to describe technologies which create physical prototypes directly from digital data. Recently, this technology has become one of the fastest-growing methods of manufacturing parts. The paper provides brief notes on the creation of composites using RP methods, such as stereolithography, selective laser sintering or melting, laminated object modelling, fused deposition modelling or three-dimensional printing. The emphasis of this work is on the methodology of composite fabrication and the variety of materials used in these technologies.

Three-dimensional printing has several significant advantages over traditional methods of production: simplification and acceleration of the production process, versatility, low cost and a few others. As a result, additive technologies have quickly become a highly promising area with great potential in many areas of human activity, finding more and more points of application. Medicine is no exception. The development of three-dimensional printing in the field of medicine can not only solve a few pressing health problems, but also stimulate the progress of technology. To date, three-dimensional medical printing is used in the following areas: individual prostheses both temporary and permanent wear, surgical instruments, simulation manuals for training medical students and preoperative training of surgeons. Of interest is the joint application of additive technologies with cellular technologies – bioprinting. Despite its great potential, this activity is not sufficiently regulated, which is a serious obstacle to its development. The introduction into practice of the principles proposed in this work of the device and functioning of a specialized service – laboratory of additive medical production – should solve this problem and contribute to the rapid development of medical three-dimensional printing in the Russian Federation.

<p class="Body"><strong>Aim:</strong> to report on the applicability of  biomodels obtained from computerized tomography (CT) images through the technique of stereolithography (SLA) and three-dimensional printing (3DP), in the clinical case reports of patients who underwent surgeries involving dentoskeletal deformity, oral pathology and oral and maxillofacial trauma. <strong>Metodology: </strong> Clinical case 01 deals with fractures in the orbital and zygomatic arch region that required reconstruction and correction of diplopia, by means of CT images, using the technique of three-dimensional printing through SLA, generating a mirrored biomodel for surgical planning and the making of customized prostheses. In clinical case 02, by means of CT images, a biomodel utilizing the 3DP technique showed the total area invaded by invasive ameloblastoma, making it possible to plan the osteotomy with maximum preservation of the adjacent tissue and prior modeling of the plate. In clinical case 03, rapid prototyping technology (RP) was used to make customized prostheses for temporomandibular articulation, with the goal of correcting a serious idiopathic pathology provoking the resorption of the right and left condyles. <strong>Discussion: </strong>Complex cases require the team to have recourse to technology for the implementation of the procedures, in order to offer excellent quality treatment to the patient, in addition to facilitating surgical planning and permitting the construction of customized prostheses. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> that rapid prototyping for the acquisition of biomodels is an important auxiliary tool for the surgical team. </p>

Rapid prototyping (RP) is being widely used in diverse areas, from the building of aesthetic and functional prototypes to the production of tools and moulds for prototypes. Many RP techniques like stereo lithography, laminated object manufacturing, three dimensional printing etc. are commercially available. The implication of these technologies revealed that the time and cost of developing new foundry tools could be greatly reduced. The purpose of the present research paper is to review three dimensional printing for generation of prototype for casting applications.
