Thermoluminescence Dosimeters Holder Cassette Design and 3D Printing

Abstract

3-dimensional (3D) printing technology has been used in many fields and has taken a
significant place in several applications. The ease of production, cheap cost, being able
to produce the product most suitable for your needs, and easy accessibility of the 3D
printer have enabled it to be used in many areas. This study emerged from the need for
an apparatus to place thermoluminescence dosimeters (TLDs) during the calibration of
TLDs to be used to determine organ doses in fluoroscopy applications. In the study, the
TLD holder cassette that was specially designed in the SolidWorks program was printed
from PLA material using the fused deposition modelling (FDM) technique with Creality
Ender 3 S1 printer. With this 3D TLD holder cassette that was designed and printed in
accordance with the needs, we aimed to show the usability of the 3D printing technique
in almost every field of applied sciences.
