Rapid Prototyping Assistance to Medical Science

Rapid-Prototyping of Rapid-Prototyping Machines

Fostering the spread of inexpensive, sustainable manufacturing processes and equipment empowers individuals and societies to create products which solve their particular challenges. We intend to advance that idea to its next logical step, offering not just the means of production, but also the mechanisms by which this empowerment can propagate and evolve. By creating rapid-prototyping machines ...

Rapid Prototyping of Rapid Prototyping Machines

Rapid prototyping tools empower individuals to create almost anything. Unfortunately, these tools are still far too expensive for personal ownership. The do-it-yourself community has responded with a slew of home-made rapid prototyping machines, but development times are slow because of the complexity of the necessary control system and the need to design the mechanical elements from scratch. T...

Direct Thick Layer Rapid Prototyping From Medical Images

This paper discusses a technique for building medical prototypes directly from medical image data using ruled thick layers directly from medical image data. Medical image slices are currently much thicker than the layers used by most machines, but a direct slice to layer correspondence can be established with the use of thick layers. The proposed algorithm uses three image planes to interpolate...
