Abstract
The aim of the present thesis is to evaluate the feasibility of manufacturing customized cranial implants applying the Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) technique on a bio compatible polymer such as High Density Poly Ethylene (HDPE). The following research focuses on a CAD/CAM aided process that will help to find the optimal parameters to secure the best precision of the manufactured piece. This technique offers a sustainable, cheap and highly accurate process that will allow a bigger number of patients the possibility to have access to a high quality, aesthetic prosthesis that will improve their life quality
