3.6.3. Geometrical models<br />

Materials and Methods<br />

Geometric models were mapped by CCD camera system by the use of five prosthesis<br />

geometries. These prostheses are namely:<br />

−<br />

−<br />

Prosthesis 1.: Prototype from the SZIU, non-commercial,<br />

Prosthesis 2.: Biotech TP Primary knee,<br />

Prosthesis 3.: Biotech TP P/S Primary knee,<br />

Prosthesis 4.: BioMet Oxford Partial knee,<br />

Prosthesis 5.: DePuy PFC.<br />

The geometric models were mapped with a Breuckmann OptoTop-HE 3D monochrome scanner<br />

with the 75 µm of resolution at the <strong>Szent</strong> <strong>István</strong> University, by the following steps (Figure 3.29<br />

and Figure 3.30).<br />

The scanned surfaces were processed and assembled in the OptoCat 2010 program and saved as<br />

STL files. The STL files (Stereolithography) are widely used in the 3D prototyping or computer<br />

aided manufacturing. However, the STL is built up as an unstructured, triangulated surface,<br />

which cannot be directly used in a CAD system, but needs to be converted into either a surface<br />

or a body model.<br />
