Delivering Custom implants faster

Dr. Stephen Rouse and Dr. Erge Edgu-Fry’s existing process included systems that could be hard to use and time-consuming where parts could take several days to model. They wanted a faster, easier (and therefore less costly) way to create custom implants that would also allow them to produce more refined parts.

The picture on the left shows a damaged skull that has been fitted with an implant using Geomagic FreeForm. The scaled down version shows the skull prior to the implant being placed. For Dr. Edgu-Fry, this very example would have taken about 1-2 days with other software to model and with FreeForm, she was able to complete it in 2-3 hours.
