Abstract: This manuscript presents a 3D printing method, especially human bone anatomy, in a cloud and online system. The human bone anatomy, specific skull and foot bone, of the patient's digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) file, is uploaded to the so-called 3DPNet-DICOM cloud. After printing, the 3DPNet-DICOM cloud sends a notification and the 3D printed bone model to the hospital by courier. The 3D images constructed from the DICOM file and the 3D printed model was identifiable with no significant dimensional errors. The result is to eliminate the human operators' activity, and queuing at the order process.

Keywords: 3D printing; bone model; cloud application; online application; DICOM; network access.
