Medical Modeling (eBook)

Medical Modelling:?The Application of Advanced Design and Additive Manufacturing Techniques in Medicine, Third Edition?provides readers with a thorough update of the core contents, along with key information on innovative imaging techniques, additive manufacturing technologies and a range of applied case studies. This comprehensive new edition includes new coverage of advanced technologies, such as selective laser melting, electron beam melting, multi jet fusion, and more. The extensive section of peer-reviewed case studies is thoroughly updated and includes additional clinical examples, describing the practical applications of advanced design technologies in surgical, prosthetic, orthotic, dental and research applications. Finally, Medical Modelling:?The Application of Advanced Design and Additive Manufacturing Techniques in Medicine, Third Edition explores the future potential of medical modelling, such as in simulations for training, the development of new medical devices and so on. - Covers the essential stages and methods of creating virtual and physical anatomical models from medical scan data - Presents an overview of the main AM processes, including advantages and limitations - Provides worked examples and case studies with detailed descriptions of the applications of 3D scanning, CAD, and AM to a wide variety of anatomical, surgical, prosthetic, orthotic, and associated applications

Prof Richard Bibb is a Professor of Medical Applications of Design at Loughborough University, UK. He graduated from Brunel University, UK (1995) with a BSc (Hons) in Industrial Design. He then ?undertook doctoral research in Rapid Prototyping at the National Centre for Product Design and Development Research (PDR), Cardiff Metropolitan University, UK. This study involved the development of a computerised Rapid Prototyping selection system for designers in small companies. After gaining his PhD in 1999 he established the Medical Applications Group at PDR to conduct collaborative applied research in medical applications of design technologies such as CAD and 3D Printing. He rose to the position of Director of Research ?for PDR before moving to Loughborough University in 2008.? In 2014 he established the Digital Design & Fabrication research lab (DDF) which focuses on ?advanced computer-aided design (CAD), 3D ?Printing and Additive Manufacturing technologies. Professor Bibb's personal research focus is the application of advanced product design and development ?technologies in medicine, surgery, rehabilitation and assistive technology.
