Who Should Attend
This workshop is for those interested in 3D image processing from CT, MRI, microCT, FIB-SEM... You will learn how to visualize and analyze 3D image data, and generate models for CAD design, FE/CFD simulation and 3D printing. If you are working in areas such as Materials Science, Industrial Reverse Engineering and Life Sciences, then this workshop is for you.
Being able to create accurate medical devices that are closely matched to a patient’s unique anatomy requires precision imaging, measurements, and design. A critical part of PrinterPrezz’s unique medifacturing™ workflow is our process of turning magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) scans into a 3D CAD image that can be manipulated and used for 3D printing.
PrinterPrezz employs a team of experienced orthopedic surgeons that work with innovation hospitals. MRI and CT scans can be given to us more securely and quickly, ultimately speeding up the process of producing an effective implant. In the early stages of our workflow, we utilize Synopsys’s Simpleware ScanIP. Our surgeons and engineers are able take MRI and CT scan data from the hospital and perform analysis and segmentation—effectively taking the solid scan data and slicing the structures up layer by layer. This allows us to “see into” the 3D scans and apply unique modeling techniques. It is the first critical point in the workflow.
In this study, researchers at Tel Aviv University and ROHO Inc. analysed how wheelchair cushion design affects the risk of pressure ulcers. MRI data of a male subject was used to generate a robust 3D model in Simpleware software for Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of stresses in FEBio. Comparisons were made between different types of wheelchair cushions to determine how they respond to pressures. The study was successful at evaluating the effectiveness of FE modelling for studying interactions between wheelchair users and equipment.
