Advanced manufacturing technologies (AMTs) combine novelmanufacturing techniques and machines with the application ofinformation technology, microelectronics and new organizationalpractices within the manufacturing sector. They include "hard"technologies such as rapid prototyping, and "soft" technologiessuch as scanned point cloud data manipulation. AMTs contributesignificantly to medical and biomedical engineering. The number ofapplications is rapidly increasing, with many important newproducts now under development.
Advanced Manufacturing Technology for MedicalApplications outlines the state of the art in advancedmanufacturing technology and points to the future development ofthis exciting field. Early chapters look at actual medicalapplications already employing AMT, and progress to how reverseengineering allows users to create system solutions to medicalproblems. The authors also investigate how hard and soft systemsare used to create these solutions ready for building. Applicationsfollow where models are created using a variety of differenttechniques to suit different medical problems
* One of the first texts to be dedicated to the use of rapidprototyping, reverse engineering and associated software formedical applications
* Ties together the two distinct disciplines of engineering andmedicine
* Features contributions from experts who are recognised pioneersin the use of these technologies for medical applications
* Includes work carried out in both a research and a commercialcapacity, with representatives from 3 companies that areestablished as world leaders in the field - MedicalModelling, Materialise, & Anatomics
* Covers a comprehensive range of medical applications, fromdentistry and surgery to neurosurgery and prosthetic design
Medical practitioners interested in implementing new advancedmethods will find Advanced Manufacturing Technology for MedicalApplications invaluable as will engineers developingapplications for the medical industry. Academics and researchersalso now have a vital resource at their disposal.
