Abstract :This study aims to develop and demonstrate a new method of creating polymeric vocal cord insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(VC); models via 3D printing to reduce model production time, increase sound efficiency, and lay the groundwork for future models using more realistic geometric and functional biomaterials. For this purpose, it is to produce a poly insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(lactic acid); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PLA); based VC implant using a 3D printer as a special design according to the patient`s vocal structure. In this study, VC 3D PLA implant insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(VC3DPLAI);, VC stretch piece insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(measured = 35 mm length);, fixed to thyroid cartilage VC insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(cartilage length = 12 mm); and titanium insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Ti64); springs pieces are expected to be produced as a patient-specific implant It is composed of three different biomechanical designs. When you compare this implant with other biomaterials, the VC3DPLAI provides personal convenience compared to complex models and allows unlimited time-cost competition.
