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 [...]

Modeling from a 2D Drawing with Design X Go Let’s explore some of the CAD modeling capabilities of Design X Go without the need for a scan, and how you can open the created model in Mastercam for toolpath generation. Unlocking CAD Modeling Potential When you have something like a 2D Print or a DXF file of a part, Design X Go enables you to transform these into a 3D model suitable for CNC programming [...]

Enhancing Radiation Shielding Using 3D Printing, Scanning, and Geomagic Design X Nuclear plants could become the main source of clean energy, but their success is tied to preventing hazardous radiation. Canadian electric company Bruce Power, with a nuclear power station on Lake Huron, embarked on developing a novel radiation shielding approach. The company uses a 3D scanning and 3D printing workflow with tungsten-impregnated filament to make custom shielding components. Barely a year after the initiative [...]
