Advanced Manufacturing Technology for Medical Applications: Reverse Engineering, Software Conversion and Rapid Prototyping (Engineering Research Series (REP))

Advanced manufacturing technologies (AMTs) combine novel manufacturing techniques and machines with the application of information technology, microelectronics and new organizational practices within the manufacturing sector. They include “hard” technologies such as rapid prototyping, and “soft” technologies such as scanned point cloud data manipulation. AMTs contribute significantly to medical and biomedical engineering. The number of applications is rapidly increasing, with many important new products now under development.

Advanced Manufacturing Technology for Medical Applications outlines the state of the art in advanced manufacturing technology and points to the future development of this exciting field. Early chapters look at actual medical applications already employing AMT, and progress to how reverse engineering allows users to create system solutions to medical problems. The authors also investigate how hard and soft systems are used to create these solutions ready for building. Applications follow where models are created using a variety of different techniques to suit different medical problems

• One of the first texts to be dedicated to the use of rapid prototyping, reverse engineering and associated software for medical applications
• Ties together the two distinct disciplines of engineering and medicine
• Features contributions from experts who are recognised pioneers in the use of these technologies for medical applications
• Includes work carried out in both a research and a commercial capacity, with representatives from 3 companies that are established as world leaders in the field – Medical Modelling, Materialise, & Anatomics
• Covers a comprehensive range of medical applications, from dentistry and surgery to neurosurgery and prosthetic design

Medical practitioners interested in implementing new advanced methods will find Advanced Manufacturing Technology for Medical Applications invaluable as will engineers developing applications for the medical industry. Academics and researchers also now have a vital resource at their disposal.Advanced manufacturing technologies (AMTs) combine novel manufacturing techniques and machines with the application of information technology, microelectronics and new organizational practices within the manufacturing sector.

Advances in Integrated Design and Manufacturing in Mechanical Engineering II

• Written for Attendees of the previous and future IDMME conferences; academics, students and practitioners specialising in design and manufacturing issues in mechanical engineering

The 33 papers presented in this book were selected from amongst the 97 papers presented during the sixth edition of the International Conference on Integrated Design and Manufacturing in Mechanical Engineering during 28 sessions. This conference was organized within the framework of the activities of the AIP-PRIMECA network whose main scientific field is integrated design applied to both mechanical engineering and production, and represents state-of-the-art research. It shows the urgent need for change in product development with the integration during the design activity of the global life cycle of the product. Two keynote papers introduce the subject of the Conference and are followed by the different themes highlighted during the conference: The design/manufacturing interface; Integrated design of manufacturing processes; Life cycle design and manufacturing approaches; Agility in design and manufacture; Knowledge in engineering; and Management in production systems. The book is divided into sections reflecting the above themes and will be of interest to academics, students and practitioners specialising in design and manufacturing issues in mechanical engineering.
