Manufacturing of Cranial Implant Using SPIF and 3D Printing

The single-point incremental forming (SPIF) and fused deposition modelling 3D printing (FDM) are used in the manufacture of parts for small series and prototypes in various sectors such as aeronautics, biomedical field, and art pieces. In this sense, recent published results have revealed an increasing interest in shaping components for biomedical uses. This work aims to study the geometric precision of the two methods during the development of a cranial implant and to compare the fidelity of the parts to be developed to the CAD part
