Haptic Rendering of Volumetric Data for Cranial Implant Modeling

A force feedback algorithm for cranial implant design is presented in this paper. The algorithm is applied directly on volumetric data. It is a proxy-based algorithm, and a spherical proxy is used to accurately calculate the force between the sculpting tool and the skull. Based on this algorithm a cranial implant modeling system is implemented, and an implant for a simulated defect is designed
