This paper describes the use of a non-contact structured light scanning technique, computer aided design (CAD) and additive manufacturing (AM) to produce a burns pressure therapy splint, also known as mask or conformer. Masks such as this are used in the treatment of hypertrophic scars resulting from burns injuries. The case study described here is of a nine year old girl with significant hypertrophic scars to her face, especially her nasal bridge. Non-contact structured light scanning was used to capture accurate data of the patients face. This data was then post processed and used to produce a model of the patients face using the three dimensional printing processes from Z Corporation. The plaster model formed was then used to generate a former on which a polyethylene tetrephthalate glycol (PETG) mask was vacuum formed. The results illustrate the benefits and effectiveness in terms of accuracy of adopting an integrated surface scanning, CAD and AM approach for easier intervention and treatment.
本文介绍了使用非接触式结构光扫描技术、计算机辅助设计 (CAD) 和增材制造 (AM) 来制作烧伤压力治疗夹板，也称为面罩或塑形器。这种面罩用于治疗烧伤引起的增生性瘢痕。本案例研究介绍了一位九岁女孩，她的面部，特别是鼻梁上有明显的增生性瘢痕。使用非接触式结构光扫描技术获取患者面部的精确数据。然后对这些数据进行后处理，并使用 Z Corporation 的三维打印工艺制作患者面部模型。形成的石膏模型随后用于生成一个前体，在前体上真空成型聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯 (PETG) 面罩。结果表明，采用集成的表面扫描、CAD 和 AM 方法进行更简单的干预和治疗具有准确性方面的优势和有效性。
