Computer Aided Design of 3D Printable Anatomically Shaped Medical Devices: Methodologies and Applications

by Filip Gorski

Overview

"Computer Aided Design of 3D Printable Anatomically Shaped Medical Devices: Methodologies and Applications" presents a comprehensive framework for designing 3D printable medical devices tailored to individual anatomies. Bridging engineering and medicine, the book guides readers through advanced CAD techniques, anatomical data acquisition (via 3D scanning and imaging), and additive manufacturing processes, presenting mostly results of author's own and co-authored research. Emphasizing efficiency, customization, and real-world applications, it showcases methodologies developed in collaboration with medical professionals for orthopedic devices, surgical aids, and prosthetics. Case studies offer insights into practical uses, demonstrating how these innovations enhance patient care and surgical outcomes through personalized, accessible solutions.
