3D printed acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) mold and molded prosthesis (Case 1).

A. The left block is the negative front mold for the anterior surface. The right block is the negative back mold for the posterior surface of the prosthesis with a sprue injection hole in the middle.

B. Back mold with attached wax insert to create the hollow posterior bulb (Arrow).

C. Sagittal view of a bisected molded prosthesis. Top hollow space (Arrow) is the pocket created to house the ocular prosthesis. Bottom hollow space (Arrowhead) is the cavity of the bulbous posterior portion of the prosthesis. The upper eyelid is represented by an asterisk. The lower eyelid is represented by two asterisks.
