摘要：
The present invention relates to a system and method of manufacturing a mouth piece by 3D printing a 3D printer readable file encoding the mouth piece, the method comprising steps of: obtaining a scan file comprising physical data representing a user's teeth and gum line using 3D scanner means (100)； removing outlier data from physical data in the scan file； generating representative geometrical data of the curvature of the user's teeth and gum line from the physical data； generating a virtual base model representing a mouth piece from the physical data and the representative geometrical data, the virtual base model having customisable dimensions (101)； removing selected regions from the mouth piece represented by the virtual base model (102)； and from the virtual base model, generating the 3D printer readable file encoding the mouth piece for printing on 3D printing means (103). The present invention provides a computer implemented development environment adapted with user interface means providing an operator with the ability to customise the mouth piece as required.
