Creating 3D Models with 3D Printing Process

Creating 3D models with uncalibrated cameras

We describe a factorization-based method to recover 3D models from multiple perspective views with uncalibrated cameras. The method first performs a projective reconstruction using a bilinear factorization algorithm, and then converts the projective solution to a Euclidean one by enforcing metric constraints. We present three factorizationbased normalization algorithms to generate the Euclidean...

3D Printing Process Pipeline on the Internet

We develop a small and lightweight cloud based service for the utilization of 3D printer resources within an academic context. This service consists of user, artefact and printer management and utilizes existing business process management systems (BPMS) where possible and extends their functionality. It enables scheduling of printing jobs for artefacts and high utilization of 3D printer resour...

State of the art: 3D printing for creating compliant patient-specific congenital heart defect models

Background Congenital heart defects affect 8 out of every 1,000 newborns. Although many do not require immediate treatment, most cases will require a surgical or catheter based intervention during their lifetime. Complex cases can involve multiple anomalies. These unique and complex procedures require comprehensive pre-intervention or surgical planning. A state of the art method for creating pa...

3D Printing and 3D Bioprinting in Pediatrics

Additive manufacturing, commonly referred to as 3D printing, is a technology that builds three-dimensional structures and components layer by layer. Bioprinting is the use of 3D printing technology to fabricate tissue constructs for regenerative medicine from cell-laden bio-inks. 3D printing and bioprinting have huge potential in revolutionizing the field of tissue engineering and regenerative ...
