Figure Lengend Snippet: Maxillofacial bone 3D modelling quality evaluation on a four-point scale. (A) 1 point: the clarity is poor, a large portion of the anatomy is absent, the accuracy is unacceptable, and the artefacts are serious; the model is considered nondiagnostic. (B) 2 points: the clarity is suboptimal, a small portion of the anatomy is absent, the accuracy is fair, and many artefacts are present; the model is considered nondiagnostic. (C) 3 points: the clarity, integrity, and accuracy are good, and few artefacts are present; the model is acceptably diagnostic. (D) 4 points: the clarity and accuracy are excellent, the integrity is perfect, and almost no artefacts are present; the model is suitably diagnostic. 3D, three-dimensional.
Article Snippet: A 3D rapid prototyping printer (MakerBot Replicator Z18, USA) was used to print the 3D model using acrylonitrile butadiene styrene copolymer material.
