Content

The manufacturing module 460 may manufacture a patient-specific instrument 406 using the preliminary instrument model. The manufacturing module 460 may use a patient-specific instrument model generated from the preliminary instrument model. The manufacturing module 460 may provide the patient-specific instrument model to one or more manufacturing tools and/or fabrication tool (e.g., additive and/or subtractive). The patient-specific instrument model may be sent to the tools in any format such as an STL file or any other CAD modeling or CAM file or method for data exchange. In one embodiment, a user can adjust default parameters for the patient-specific instrument such as types and/or thicknesses of materials, dimensions, and the like before the manufacturing module 460 provides the patient-specific instrument model to a manufacturing tool.
