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.

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 medicine provides 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.
