Abstract This clinical report describes the treatment of a 47‐year‐old female patient with a nasal septum perforation. The treatment used a 2‐piece magnetic custom prosthesis fabricated from a 3D‐printed model. By using an existing medical CT scan to generate the printed working model, the number of clinical appointments was reduced. The workflow expanded the purpose of the radiologic images from simply diagnostic to include the prosthetic aspect of treatment.
