Medical 3D-printing is a modern technology that offers the possibility to manufacture patientspecific implants offering shorter operating times and better clinical results at a lower cost. The patientspecific implants are nowadays on the rise in cranioplasty which uses e.g. polymetylmetacrylate (PMMA) implants to correct the damaged skull. The manufacturing accuracy of such constructs remain problematic and deserve a detailed investigation. The aim of this study was to assess the inaccuracy of the bone-implant interface when PMMA skull implant is employed. The assessment was performed using the computational simulation.
