Abstrakt:	Extremity radiation monitoring is an important tool for the assessment of occupational exposures to staff at a variety of workplaces where ionising radiation is used. This work shows the feasibility of applying 3D printing for the development of customisable ring dosemeters. The rings were developed using two types of resin, hard and flexible and has the possibility of sterilisation using different techniques. The printed ring dosemeter was associated with BeO optically stimulated dosemeters. The energy and angular response were found within ±20% in the energy range from 24 to 662 keV and from 0° to 60° angle of incidence. This contributes to the reduction of measurement uncertainty when compared with currently used thermoluminescent detectors dosemeters. The new ring dosemeter showed a satisfactory response with respect to the performance criteria of the IEC 62387 Standard, in addition to providing improved ergonomics in relation to the commercial ring dosemeter.
