Klappentext

Medical Modelling: The Application of Advanced Design and Rapid Prototyping Techniques in Medicine, Third Edition?provides readers with a thorough update of the core contents, along with key information on innovative imaging techniques, additive manufacturing technologies, and a range of applied case studies. This comprehensive new edition includes new coverage of advanced technologies, such as selective laser melting, electron beam melting, multi jet fusion, and more. The extensive section of peer-reviewed case studies is thoroughly updated and includes additional clinical examples, describing the practical applications of advanced design technologies in surgical, prosthetic, orthotic, dental and research applications.

Finally, the book explores the future potential of medical modeling, such as in simulations for training, the development of new medical devices, and more.
