Resumen
The article discusses the use of 3D carnial models in medicine and surgery. Closing large cranial defects offers patients therapeutic benefits, including restoring the shape of the head, protecting vital brain tissue, minimizing pain, reducing operating and recovery time, and in some cases even improving cognitive abilities. There are some serious drawbacks of the technique as well. Insurance companies often do not support this form of reconstruction due to the high cost of labor and manufacturing. Process of solidifying implant material exudes extreme temperatures, which damages tissues. Translating the real-world tools to Virtual Reality equivalents can potentially improve today's pre-surgical methods. Since the implant model is now stored and manipulated in a digital format, remote users can collaboratively view and discuss the model over high-speed networks. Exporting the sculpted implant model directly from the virtual environment promises the use of new, state-of-the-art implant materials, as the manufacturer can receive the 3D model over the network.
