3D PRINTING ORBITAL IMPLANTS

Despite its increasing use in craniofacial reconstructions, three-dimensional (3D) printing of customized orbital implants has not been widely adopted. Limitations include the cost of 3D printers able to print in a biocompatible material suitable for implantation in the orbit and the breadth of available implant materials. We developed a technique of low-cost 3D printing of orbital implants used in complex, often secondary, orbital reconstructions for primary orbital implant migration.
