Schematic outline of study methodology: Standard workflow for in-house generation of 3D models is shown in the upper lane (light blue boxes). The specific workflow of this study is depicted in the lower lane (light green boxes). Here, the 3D-printed models were subjected to a high-resolution CT scan and an STL file was generated from the resulting DICOM dataset. Both STL files (source and 3D model) were then analyzed for wall thickness and three-dimensional part congruency using an automated software tool (Mimics Innovations Suite, Version 23, red box).
