3D modeling is a key tool for the manufacture of customized prostheses and implants using computer assisted design, rapid prototyping and additive manufacturing technologies. The overall objective of the course is to introduce the fundamental concepts of design, modeling, simulation and in biomedical engineering in the two main areas of knowledge, namely through 3D CAD design and in the manufacturing additive materials / manufacturing processes. Students have the opportunity to work individually and as a team, to promote their oral and written skills and to critically analyze the topics covered in the class.
In the first part of the course, students acquire skills in all stages of 3D modeling and rapid prototyping and additive manufacturing technologies that are most commonly used in the medical field, for the manufacture of 3D medical models and of customized implants and prostheses by metallic, ceramic and polymeric materials. In the second part of the subject, students develop the ability to construct geometric models using 3D CAD modeling software (e.g., SolidWorks) for individual parts and assemblies. The learning process includes the acquisition of skills in the whole process of developing a model: critical analysis of modeling needs, definition of requirements, conceptualization, geometric design of parts, construction of sets, elaboration of technical drawing in 2D views, for example.
3D Biomodeling and Rapid Prototyping. Introduction and fundamental concepts. 3D Medical Models & Prototypes. Rapid prototyping techniques. Reverse engineering. Guided Implantology. Manufacture of custom biomaterials by additive manufacturing. Customised bioceramics, biopolymers and biometais. Clinical applications.
Practical component
3D geometric modeling: Importance of geometric modeling in product engineering, general aspects of technical drawing, computer aided design (CAD), main modeling functionalities of 3D CAD programs, construction of sets and 2D views in 3D CAD software. Applications.
The adopted teaching methodology is based upon theoretical lectures under an open environment in order students can achieve full comprehension of the studied concepts on 3D modeling and additive manufacturing. Whenever possible, the studied subjects are centered on real clinical applications in several areas of reconstructive and regenerative medicine. During the class, the theory is analyzed collectively and consolidated via discussion of practical examples. During the semester some invited lectures take place.
