Organisation | Space-craft Architektur; Meusburger Dentaltechnik |
Summary
This research project showcases the technical feasibility of 3D Technology in combination with dental technology. This innovative approach presents a new field for human spaceflight. Based on a theoretical medical emergency case, the technical procedure will be simulated under ‘simulated Mars’ conditions. The results will be evaluated concerning future potential applications.
Objectives
- Verification of the application of generative manufacturing technologies for dental technology towards future human space mission and its specific requirements for the equipment, process and the space station architecture and design.
This will be achieved by
- a simulation of a selected dental case study
- a comparison of dental models manufactured generatively with dental models physically made by dental technicians, to further
- retrieve relevant requirements on the quality of the product and the process as well as criteria for the quality assessment. The expected outcome will be a compilation of a criteriacatalogue to judge and evaluate the physical and the digital dental model (eg. According to the surface properties of the model, the accuracy of fit, material, haptik and form)
