The most interesting and challenging applications of rapid prototyping technologies are in the field of medicine. RP medical models have found application for planning treatment for complex surgery procedures, training, surgical simulation, diagnosis, design and manufacturing of implants as well as medical tools. This paper explores and presents the procedure for making medical models using RP,...

Rapid Prototyping is part of a modern technologies group whose target is to reduce the designing and manufacturing cycle of a product. One efficient rapid prototyping technique is that of 3D printing and, its benefits in designing and manufacturing elements of a laser medical device are presented by this paper. More, a simulation involving computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and heat transfer ph...

3d imagination of human's organs has become feasible by digital image processing techniques and algorithms via ct or mri images in recent years. in this study, a new method for reverse engineering and biomodelling of hard tissues by catia cloud points' concept has been considered. comparing with the current softwares (e.g. biobuild or mimics) has shown the new method's easiness of implementing ...

Technologies of Rapid Prototyping (RP) represents the rapid production of 3D physical parts using by additive manufacturing technology. The start these techniques became available in the late 1980s and were used to produce 3D models and prototype parts. Today they are used for a much wider range of applications and are even used to manufacture production-quality parts in relatively small number...
