Knee Joint Modeling using Laser Scanner Technique

Knee joint is the most important joint in the human body. 3D CAD modelling is the most important part for analysis Reverse engineering is one of the process by which 3D CAD model can be easily generated. Different techniques available for generating CAD models. The paper describes the methodology applied in the development of an anatomically detailed three-dimensional knee model from 3D laser scanner machine. 3D laser scanner machine is used for generating CAD model which requires 3D solid model as an input. It is made of box type and then solid model id kept on platform provided in box. Laser rays are applied on the periphery of the model and return time of the laser is calculated by which the model is generated on monitor screen. Keywords3D CAD model, Laser Scanner
