What’s New in Geomagic Control X 2025
The latest release, Geomagic Control X 2025.0.0, offers much to be excited about. Below you’ll find our pick of the highlights, but remember to check the release note for a full list of updates. Innovative Implant Design: From Imaging to Surgical Application Hip replacement is common for osteoarthritis, using off-the-shelf acetabulum cups. However, some patients need bespoke implants due to complex conditions like previous surgeries or extensive hip damage. Complex hip replacements pose surgical challenges due to scar tissue, distorted anatomy, fragile or dead bone, and tumors. Bespoke implants require unique bone preparation and precise fitting, often through small incisions and avoiding nerves and blood vessels. Accurate design and manufacturing of implants are critical, involving multiple steps from patient scans to surgery. Starting with accurate imaging The patient-specific hip implant must start with CT or MRI imaging to analyze bone quality and morphology, helping the team establish implant positioning. These images may be augmented with standing x-rays for a 3D understanding of pelvic orientation. The next step must convert 2D medical images into a 3D model using Simpleware. This software imports image data and uses manual and AI-driven segmentation to define anatomical structures, generating a 3D model for accurate measurements. The 3D model [...]
How Harlequin Design Uses SLA Printing to Meet Tight Deadlines
Harlequin Design, a leader in visual merchandising, utilizes SLA 3D printing to create high-quality, custom displays for luxury brands such as Hermès, Dior, and Louis Vuitton. This technology helps them meet tight deadlines and maintain their reputation for excellence. Here’s an in-depth look at their process: 1.
