Riassunto

Medical modelling and the principles of medical imaging, Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Rapid Prototyping (also known as Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing) are important techniques relating to various disciplines - from biomaterials engineering to surgery. Building on the success of the first edition, Medical Modelling:The application of Advanced Design and Rapid Prototyping techniques in medicineprovides readers with a revised edition of the original text, along with key information on innovative imaging techniques, Rapid Prototyping technologies and case studies. Following an overview of medical imaging for Rapid Prototyping, the book goes on to discuss working with medical scan data and techniques for Rapid Prototyping. In this second edition there is an extensive section of peer-reviewed case studies, describing the practical applications of advanced design technologies in surgical, prosthetic, orthotic, dental and research applications.

• Covers the steps towards rapid prototyping, from conception (modelling) to manufacture (manufacture)
• Includes a comprehensive case studies section on the practical application of computer-aided design (CAD) and rapid prototyping (RP)
• Provides an insight into medical imaging for rapid prototyping and working with medical scan data

Informazioni sugli autori

Prof Richard Bibb is a Professor of Medical Applications of Design at Loughborough University, UK. He graduated from Brunel University, UK (1995) with a BSc (Hons) in Industrial Design. He then ‎undertook doctoral research in Rapid Prototyping at the National Centre for Product Design and Development Research (PDR), Cardiff Metropolitan University, UK. This study involved the development of a computerised Rapid Prototyping selection system for designers in small companies.

After gaining his PhD in 1999 he established the Medical Applications Group at PDR to conduct collaborative applied research in medical applications of design technologies such as CAD and 3D Printing. He rose to the position of Director of Research ‎for PDR before moving to Loughborough University in 2008.‎ In 2014 he established the Digital Design & Fabrication research lab (DDF) which focuses on ‎advanced computer-aided design (CAD), 3D ‎Printing and Additive Manufacturing technologies.

Professor Bibb's personal research focus is the application of advanced product design and development ‎technologies in medicine, surgery, rehabilitation and assistive technology.

Prof Dominic Eggbeer is a Professor of Healthcare Applications of Design at PDR, Cardiff Metropolitan University. His research focuses on the design and development of personalized medical devices, applying his knowledge to surgical implants, facial prosthetics, dental devices and other areas of rehabilitative medicine.

In addition to his academic research, he manages a small, ISO 13485 compliant commercial team in the design of patient specific implants and other devices. Eggbeer also has a leading role in collaboration, dissemination and in supporting broad uptake of novel design engineering approaches in healthcare.

Dr Abby Paterson is the Programme Director, Design for Additive Manufacturing and Lecturer in Industrial Design and Technology at Loughborough University, UK. She specialises in 3D scanning, CAD, and digital, automated fabrication (CNC milling and Additive Manufacture).

Abby graduated with a BSc in Product Design and Technology and a PhD in 3D Scanning, CAD and Additive Manufacture for Medical Applications from Loughborough University. After completing her PhD, she was appointed as a lecturer at the University of Manchester in the School of Materials; she continued her research in digital design and fabrication for medical devices and then returned to the Loughborough Design School as a lecturer in 2014.

She is currently completing a 12-month industrial fellowship in 3D scanning, CAD and AM, funded by the Royal Academy of Engineering. Abby has also received funding from Arthritis Research UK to develop specialised 3D CAD software for the design of customized 3D-printed wrist splints. In 2015, Abby was awarded a Loughborough University Teaching Innovation Award. Abby also engages with consultancy work through the Loughborough University Enterprises Ltd.
