Medical Equipment and Reconstruction

Perfect fit of advanced medical devices based on the original shape of the patients is becoming increasingly enabled by 3D data from Geomagic. By capturing original body and bone shapes, custom-fitted hearing aids, orthopedic devices, prosthetics and orthotics are reducing pain during treatment, increasing patient quality of life and minimizing recovery times.
Advanced research into medical areas such as motion analysis, joint movements and wearing of medical implants is also a growing area that uses a combination of Computer Tomography (CT) tools, Geomagic 3D reverse engineering software and CAD/analysis technologies to advance product durability and better understand the mysteries of the human body.
Geomagic Studio is the platform of choice for a medical industry technology and systems builders to model and drive better medical reconstruction and device solutions for lower cost and best patient experience using 3D data. Our technology is being used for a variety of applications including:
- Orthopedics– Create custom orthopedic joint replacement reverse engineered for perfect fit.
- Cosmetic Surgery– Increase patient confidence in reconstructive and cosmetic plastic surgery modeled and visualized.
- Surgery Preparation– Surgeons practice on latex models on critical procedures, prior to reaching operating room.
- Orthotics and Braces– Design perfect fitting orthotic devices, foot pads, heel inserts, joint braces based on shape and form of patient.
- Hearing Aids– Custom manufacture hearing aids with Geomagic from start to finish for optimal fit and maximum production quality.
