FMEA informed the design and implementation of QA steps to guarantee a safe and high-quality comprehensive implementation of silicone bolus from 3D printed molds. This approach allows for greater adaptability not afforded by traditional bolus, as well as potential dissemination to other clinics due to the open-source nature of the workflow.
