Choosing the right digitisation method depends on patient and object geometry, accessibility, material properties, and the required data quality. High-resolution optical 3D surface scanners are used for external geometries and surfaces, whereas CT, micro-CT or MRI data are used for internal anatomical structures.
Our expertise encompasses the acquisition, preparation and processing of medical and technical 3D data across end-to-end digital workflows, including:
- Reverse engineering: Creation of structured 3D datasets for further processing in CAx systems
- Development and testing of digital planning and design processes for implants, instruments and templates
- Orthotic and prosthetic concepts: Development and evaluation of digital workflows for data capture, design and simulation through to additive manufacturing of demonstrators and prototypes
- Quality assurance and process evaluation
- 3D comparisons between manufactured components and CAD reference models for dimensional, geometric and process analysis
