  3. Abstract:
  4. Medical applications of rapid prototyping have an increasing trend, making the future of RP more and more promising. These applications may include design, development, and manufacture of medical devices and instrumentation, as well as implant design, anatomical modeling, surgical planning, surgical implants, and prosthesis fabrication. This paper provides a new methodology for customized hip prosthesis that could provide high accuracy of femoral canal reconstruction via 3D modeling of prosthesis stem, 3D modeling of prosthesis neck, and facilitating the communication between the designer and surgeon. Combining RP technologies and rapid tooling with this novel custom-made hip prosthesis, will enables the above benefits and fabrication of complex 3D hip prosthesis
