Graduation project

In the Netherlands roughly 20.000 people wear an ocular prosthetic as a consequence of losing their eye due to an accident or disease. An ocular prosthetic is a type of facial prosthesis that replaces an absent natural eye. The goal of my thesis was to develop a new workflow for an ocularist in order to create an ocular prosthetic suited for 3D-printing by using computer aided design. To increase the efficiency of production and to help the ocularist with digitalization a custom tool was developed in the form of a parametric model. This parametric model is able to automatically generate 3D-geometry of an ocular prosthetic using 3D-scans of ocular impressions or digital reference models.
