Original Abstract

This thesis deals with proposal of the production technology of knee replacement by using Rapid Prototyping technology. The aim of the thesis is to outline the manufacturing technology intended for prototype production with the use of Rapid prototyping and Investment Casting Technology in orthopaedics and surgery of knee replacement. The work can make an effective contribution to the attempts of minimizing of the invasive surgical procedure, shortening of the production of knee replacement as well as cost reduction. At present, the research is focused on the preparation of STL dates from CT (computed tomography) and verification of the production technology of prototypes made of available RP technology and its evaluation.
