Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a 3D printing trajectory control method for reconstruction, and in particular to a 3D printing trajectory control method for reconstruction of a bone joint surface. Background Art
[0002] When analyzing the existing 3D printing trajectory control methods for bone joint surface reconstruction, such as the technology described in Chinese invention patent No. 2016103730876, it can be seen that it has many advantages, such as using CT / MRI tomographic image data of the patient's limbs for three-dimensional reconstruction, using reverse engineering technology and computer three-dimensional space registration technology to accurately obtain the preoperative defect area morphology, and the high matching of personalized implants and direct molding through 3D printing. However, although these technologies are quite mature in many aspects, there are still some potential defects and limitations: First, regarding the accuracy of data acquisition and processing, although CT / MRI provides a reliable data source, these medical image data need to be processed complexly before they can be converted into models suitable for 3D printing. This process involves a large number of data parsing, filtering and conversion steps, and each step will introduce errors. For example, the resolution and contrast of the image data and the slight movement of the patient during the scanning process will affect the accuracy of the final model. In addition, medical image data usually requires professional radiologists and engineers to interpret and process, which not only increases the time cost, but also may cause differences due to the subjective judgment of professionals. Secondly, although reverse engineering and computer 3D spatial registration technology can improve the design accuracy of prosthetic implants, these technologies often rely on advanced software and hardware support, which means high technical equipment investment and operating costs, especially in primary medical institutions with limited resources, and the application of this technology may be limited.
[0003] Thirdly, although personalized implant design can provide extremely high anatomical matching, highly personalized design also means that each implant requires an independent design and printing process, which is a considerable challenge in terms of production efficiency. The implant design of each patient needs to be carried out separately, which is not only time-consuming, but also difficult to achieve the economic benefits of mass production. In addition, highly personalized designs also require multiple adjustments and tests to ensure the best matching and functionality of the implant, which further increases the complexity and cost of production. In addition, although 3D printing provides the possibility of manufacturing implants with complex structures, the types and properties of printing materials are still one of the limiting factors. Although there are many 3D printing materials available for biomedical use on the market, the mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and long-term biostability of each material still need to be further studied and verified. The properties of these materials directly affect the safety and effectiveness of the implant, so the selection and verification of suitable printing materials is an issue that cannot be ignored. Finally, although 3D printing technology provides unprecedented flexibility for the manufacture of complex implant structures, precision control in the printing process, optimization of support structures, and post-processing processes are also technical difficulties that need to be overcome in the implementation of the technology. The precision in the printing process directly affects the surface smoothness, structural strength, and final functional performance of the implant. In addition, post-processing processes such as polishing, disinfection and sterilization are also crucial to the safety and effectiveness of implants. The optimization of these steps also requires a lot of technical research and experience accumulation. Summary of the invention

[0089] The specific implementation modes of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0090] Combined with Figure 1 , a 3D printing trajectory control method for bone joint surface reconstruction includes the following steps: first, a convolutional neural network (CNN) is used to analyze and process detailed three-dimensional models obtained by fusion of multiple medical imaging sources such as X-rays, CT, and MRI. These models are enhanced by specific image processing algorithms to ensure high-resolution representation of the damaged area. CNN can identify various types of damage in these models, including cracks, fractures, and fragments, and classify and assess the severity of these damages.
[0091] After the deep learning algorithm identifies and classifies the injury, the next step is to use image processing and computational geometry techniques to accurately design the 3D printing trajectory for the repair. This includes applying dynamic programming methods to optimize the trajectory so that it not only follows the natural shape of the bone, but also takes into account the forces that must be carried and the necessary biocompatibility. The dynamic programming algorithm optimizes material usage and time efficiency by calculating the shortest path from the starting point to the target area, while ensuring that the newly generated bone joint part has sufficient structural strength and biological function.
[0092] In addition, to further improve printing accuracy and efficiency, the method also integrates bionic algorithms to simulate the natural growth path of bones. These algorithms refer to biological growth principles, including branching growth patterns, to optimize material deposition paths in a natural and uniform manner. The path optimization model based on genetic algorithms is used to adjust the print head speed and movement trajectory in real time. Such real-time adjustments dynamically optimize parameters based on feedback during the printing process to ensure the quality and accuracy of the final product.
[0093] Finally, the printing materials and parameters are selected through an intelligent algorithm, which is connected to a database that records the detailed properties of various biocompatible materials, including mechanical strength, elasticity, and biodegradation rate. The intelligent algorithm analyzes and recommends the most suitable materials and printing parameters based on specific bone and joint reconstruction needs, including load bearing capacity and biocompatibility. This is based not only on the physical and chemical properties of the material, but also takes into account the patient's specific medical and physiological needs to ensure the highest standards of printing process and results.
[0094] Embodiment 1:
[0095] Combined with Figure 2 In this embodiment, a deep convolutional network (CNN) architecture is used to process the three-dimensional model of bone joints obtained through medical imaging technology. A three-dimensional model is generated from the patient's X-ray, CT and MRI data to identify the damaged area. The CNN architecture is expressed by the function:
[0096]
[0097] To process 3D volume data and optimize the printing path. Represents a three-dimensional coordinate point, Represents the standard deviation of the normal distribution, set .
[0098] Set the three-dimensional coordinate point to , substitute into the formula to calculate:

[0112] Assume that the numerical integration method (Simpson integration method) is used to obtain:
[0113]
[0114] Substitute into the function :
[0115]
[0116] This result indicates that when the damage severity is 5 and the damage area is 2cm², the energy distribution in the damage area changes by 1.635.
[0117] The last embodiment introduces a real-time path optimization system to dynamically adjust 3D printing parameters to ensure the accuracy of the printing process and the quality of the repair. The calculation is performed using the following formula:
[0118]
[0119] in, and Represents the adjustment factor, which is related to the printing speed and material flow rate. Indicates the number of levels to adjust.
[0120] In order to ensure the best material deposition and path for each layer during the printing process, a real-time path optimization system is used. During the printing process, the following adjustment factors and number of layers are determined after the damage features are identified through the 3D model:
[0121] Print speed adjustment factor =1.2 (value range is 1.0 to 2.0);
[0122] Material flow adjustment factor =1.1 (value range is 1.0 to 2.0);

[0134]
[0135] for :
[0136]
[0137] Add these values together:
[0138]
[0139] Based on the calculation results, the real-time path optimization system determines that the adjustment coefficient of printing speed and material flow is 0.9826. When printing each layer, the system will dynamically adjust the printing speed and material flow to meet this optimization coefficient, thereby ensuring uniform material deposition and strong adhesion between layers.
[0140] Set the initial printing speed of each layer to 20mm / s and the material flow rate to 1.5mm³ / s. After applying the optimization factor 0.9826:
[0141] New printing speed = 20mm / s×0.9826≈19.65mm / s
[0142] New material flow rate = 1.5 mm³ / s × 0.9826 ≈ 1.4739 mm³ / s
[0143] Make the printing process more precise, especially when dealing with complex geometries and joints that require high-strength bonding, ensuring the stability and durability of the printed structure.

[0175] The results showed that The material deposition density at the coordinate point should be adjusted to 0.428 to ensure consistency with the surrounding structure and the stability of the overall structure. Using this method, the printing parameters of each layer can be dynamically adjusted throughout the 3D printing process to ensure that each part is optimized according to the severity and location of the damage.
[0176] Combined with Figure 3 , the embodiment further applies a dynamic programming algorithm to optimize the 3D printing path to ensure optimal material deposition and printing efficiency. The optimal deposition path is calculated by the integral formula:

[0188]
[0189] therefore:
[0190]
[0191] According to the calculation results, the adjustment factor of the optimal deposition path is 1.79. This means that during the printing process, material deposition should be optimized according to this factor to ensure uniform distribution and optimal bonding.
[0192] The initial material flow rate is set to 1.5 mm³ / s, and the new material flow rate is obtained through the optimized adjustment coefficient:
[0193]
[0194] This adjustment ensures accurate deposition of material during printing, especially in complex geometries and areas requiring high-strength bonding. The printing speed and material flow rate are optimally adjusted through the path optimized by this dynamic programming algorithm.
