3D Modeling Advances Improve Prosthetic Designs, Improving Patients’ Lives
Product Design & Development
Recent 3D modeling, rapid prototyping and rapid manufacturing advances are making it easier and faster to design and deliver “custom body parts” designed to perfectly match the patient’s exisiting anatomy. Unlike traditional CAD programs which are based on mathematical representations and highly procedural workflows, FreeForm is based on voxel technology (think of voxels as 3D pixels) instead of mathematics, which has no topology restrictions, and delivers unparalleled modeling speed and flexibility for creating complex, highly detailed organic shapes, such as those found in custom implants.
