Description
Cranial orthoses are used to correct an abnormal children
head shape, and such they have to be designed individually. Customiza-
tion of those orthoses is currently fully manual task. A software tool
should make this process semi-automatic with only small intervention
from the user and speed up the whole process. In the future, this tool
will be part of process chain from 3D scanning of the patient head to
the 3D printing of the final product. This will allow to produce the
orthosis anywhere, without necessity to have expensive devices on one
place. For high quality of 3D printing, 3D computer models with high-
resolution meshes must be used. We start development of our tool by
rapid testing of methodology. For this purpose we used open source soft-
ware Blender. Although Blenders functions we used are more robust,
they are also unnecessary computationally more expensive. For this rea-
son we implemented the necessary transformation functions using radial
basis functions (RBF) which can be easily modified to include rigid body
movements.
