1: Welcome to Tailoredimplant
TailoredImplant is a Patient Specific Implant (PSI) interface portal between oral, maxilo-
facial, orthopedic surgeons and manufacturers of individualized implants.
At Tailoredimplant surgeons own all the decision-making procedures.
Our goal is to achieve a better communication between surgeons and manufacturers.
With TailoredImplant, surgeons can design by their own the individualized grafts/implants
to their patients without any 3D modeling knowledge but only technical medical issues,
also it allows to follow the manufacturing process achieving final results like first idealized.
Tailoredimplant is a Class 1 active medical device.
We are linking the engineering production procedures with doctors anatomy knowledge
due to their experience.
The main reason surgeons don't use individualized grafts is the big gap that exits in what
they really want to be designed and the conception of the final product. That's why at
Tailoredimplant surgeons have the power to decide. You don't need to know anything
about 3D modeling once the software guides you through all the designing process.
- 6 / 37 -
1.0: Introduction
Our software will guide the user step by step and on each phase it will only allows the
actions of that current design phase.
With this the error chance is reduced and the user is abstracted of the background
procedures and only needs to perform the medical actions.
1.0.1: Recommended system requirements

Operating system: Windows 10.
Processor: Intel Core i7 or compatible.
RAM Memory: 16GB.
Graphics Card: Nvidia or ATI with minimum 2GB available.
Monitor: 19inch 1080px x 1920px.
Hard drive: 2GB free space.
Keyboard: regular with numpad.
Mouse: 3 button with scroll wheel.
1.0.2: DICOM files

The used files should have .dcm extension and each slice must be an horizontal cut of
the bone.
- 7 / 37 -
1.1: Start
Double-click on the shortcut created on your desktop named Tailoredimplant and an
automatic updater will start.
On the Tailoredimplant launcher the user can select the type of product to design, and
perform software updates if a newer version is available.
Tailoredimplant requires persistent internet connection during the program execution.
1.1: TAILOREDIMPLANT LAUNCHER.
1.1.1: Product type

Select the type of product the user wants to design.
1.1.2: Start Tailoredimplant

Starts the production process based on the selected option previously.
1.1.3: Update/Download
If an update is available the user will be prompted to a mandatory update.
Depending on the size of the update file the user will be sent to the download page of the
new version or will be asked to update the existing version automatically.
- 8 / 37 -
2: DICOM conversion
At this stage you will be able to generate a 3D volume from a selected DICOM.

2.1.1: Select DICOM

Select the folder where you have the DICOM files to be imported.
The DICOM lookup is recursive, so it will import all the subfolders included in the selected
directory, it is recommended to select only the folder with the wanted DICOM files to
speed up the conversion.
2.1.2: Relative distance

Relative distance between DICOM slices. Adjust the value to split the DICOM files in
dierent parts or on a single 3D volume. Set the value to make sure all your DICOM files
are imported to the same 3D volume, otherwise unwanted cuts might be performed on
the volumes.
2.1.3: Force Orthogonal
