NEW CAD TECHNIQUES USED FOR VIRTUAL BONE MODELS APPLIED IN ORTHOPEDICS
Journal Title: Journal of Industrial Design and Engineering Graphics - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper presents some methods used to create and analyze human virtual bones. The cooperation between medical research team and the engineer research group give important tools for medical devices or implants design. To re-create anatomical 3D models it was used a CAD software which permits to define complex models. First, there were defined the "hard" parts as the main bone components and "soft" parts as ligaments or menisci using CT images. Also, using CAD methods, were created virtual models of human joints. In the last decade, a new concept called rapid prototyping, physical coating or without solid pre-form manufacturing, has become very popular.

STUDENTS' APPROACHES ON THE GEOMETRIC TRANSFORMATIONS
Architects represent volumes on a bidimensional surface, by using geometrical rules so that later they can build the reality in three dimensions. Thus, Descriptive Geometry taught to the future architects must provide ba...
MULTI-MATERIAL 3D PRINTER EXTRUDER CONCEPT
Since the RepRap (Replicating rapid prototyper) project, FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D printing technology has come a long way. As the machine evolves so does the range of materials we can print with and the applica...
GEOMETRIC STUDY ON TRANSFORMATIONS THROUGH SYMETRY IN 3D SPACE
In this paper, we present an analysis of the symmetry of the point and of the line in relation to the most known curved surfaces: cylindrical, conical and spherical. This analysis offers mathematical formulas showing the...
