Abstract


This paper describes reverse engineering (RE) of human fibula, on right male bone, using the method of anatomical features (MAF) with the aim to obtain 3D surface model. The first step in the process of reverse engineering was CT scanning and digitalization of data. CT data were obtained with Toshiba MSCT scanner Aquillion 64 and saved in DICOM format. This data were subjected to further processing and imported in Computer Aided Design (CAD) program as STL file. The process continues in CAD program with identification and determination of Referential Geometrical Entities (RGEs) which are crucial for RE process. These RGEs are the basis for definition of axis and planes of intersection. Intersecting polygonal model of fibula bone on upper and lower extremities and the body with these planes gives as result set of curves, which were used for points determination on them. Through these points splines were pulled, and with loft function surface models of extremities and the body of fibula bone is built. Joining and merging of these models leaded to 3D shape model of fibula bone. Accuracy of the model is confirmed by conducting distance and deviation analysis. Model is suitable for rapid prototyping, reconstruction missing parts of fibula bone, orthopedic training and simulation.
