New algorithm for curved extrusion to design the custom titanium plate about slicerbonereconstructionplanner HOT 9 OPEN

It looks good as an initial step to start. It needs to have a bevel (smooth edges) so the soft tissues are not irritated.

Yeah. It needs to be smoothed but it would be better to smooth it after the screw holes are created. I had problems making smoothing filters work right till now.

And of course, planning how to put the holes. When it comes to placing screw holes ideally it should not be just straight holes but rather in this shape, this is because in the inside surface contact with the bone surface should be minimal.

I didn't understand what inside surface you are referring to. However, the screw holes shouldn't be difficult to create making boolean operations I think a boolean difference of a cylinder and a cone (or another cylinder) could get the shape you showed on the picture @cmfsx for the holes.

It's great that you approved the shape of the algorithm-created fixing plate that was the most difficult thing to do. The smoothing and the holes should be solved soon. Do you think will need guides to help the surgeon make the shape of the reconstruction with the fibula pieces and put the custom fixing plate?

I am not sure I understand the question exactly. If I understand it properly, surgeons will not need a another guide top put the reconstruction plate (custom made).

Consider use of this example and this filter

Half-toroids with rounded corners (positioned over the neomandible) could be interpolated using a spline that joins them together with rounded rectangles

Predictive holes (that's the custom plate fixation holes) should be added to the mandible surgical guide

About doing the interpolation see LERP and smoothMax function used on game development

Consider using vtkSmoothPolyDataFilter with setSource for neomandible as input
