Bringing the Power of RapidForm to Medical & Dental Applications

RapidForm provides a powerful, easy to use

and highly customizable platform that makes 3D scanning a viable option for a variety of medical applications. The software's advanced data processing technology quickly makes useful, accurate 3D models of anatomical scans, whether from optical (laser, white-light, etc.) or CT/MRI devices. For the first time, the ability to capture the geometry and surface information of anatomical parts and quickly measure, modify or even physically recreate them is available.

RapidForm, combined with the appropriate 3D scanning device, can improve practices in dentistry, surgical procedures, prosthetics, cosmetic surgery and more.

Successful Applications include:

• Dentists in Italy are using RapidForm with a laser scanner to build 3D models of the dentician, which they manipulate and run simulations for treatment planning.
• A clinical research organization in the U.S. uses RapidForm to measure the volume of swelling of the eyelid due to allergic reactions.
• A major personal care products maker uses RapidForm to align and inspect detailed scans of skin before and after their products have been used.
• Several research organizations use RapidForm's 3D Imaging technology to convert CT & MRI scans into CAD models for advanced neurosurgical and biomechanical research, and to build rapid prototype copies of the anatomy.

Cutting Edge 3D Technology Combined with Customized, Application Specific Solutions -

In order to adapt RapidForm's powerful feature set for specific applications, the software is customizable and automatable. Repetitive tasks can be automated, and the user environment customized to meet specific users' needs.

Tools to Manipulate, Simulate, and Measure

3D models can be deformed, virtually sculpted, and resized. A variety of simulations can be
performed using advanced 3D morphing technology. Surface area, volume, surface distance,
point-to-point distance, angles, radii and more can be measured. Curvature can be easily examined using interactive color mapping.

The 3D polygon mesh models created in the 3D Imaging workbench can be sent on-the-fly to RapidForm's other powerful workbenches. Using the Polygon, Curve and Surface workbenches, users can quickly create defect-free, watertight polygon meshes ready for rapid prototyping or NURBS surface models ready for import into CAD, CAM, FEA and other applications.

3D Imaging Workbench Tools

The RapidForm 3D Imaging workbench is a user-friendly 3D imaging processing solution for the visualization and conversion of functional and structural MRI/CT data sets into qualified 3D polygon meshes and NURBS surface models. Using RapidForm's suite of 3D processing tools, dicom data sets from medical and industrial CT and MRI can be converted into file formats for CAD/CAM, rapid prototyping, and animation or high quality rendering.

Fast volume rendering allows quick & effective 3D visualization of MRI/CT slice data, which can be converted into polygon meshes quickly. Using interactive thresholding, scalar color & transfer control and 3D Volume of Interest (VOI) selection, users quickly isolate the right data and with one click, convert it into a polygon mesh. The workbench's ease of use and intuitive controls make it easy for anyone to convert complex 3D imaging data into manufacturable and prototypable 3D models.

Inspection Workbench Tools

RapidForm can align point clouds to using several methods, including overall best-fit, regional best-fitting or based on reference geometries. Quickly analyze bite, fit, various types of injury or tolerance with detailed deviation mapping and cross-sectional analysis. An inspection report can be automatically generated into a wide variety of report file formats with customizable contents and forms. All of the predefined inspection process can be effectively stored and recalled for other parts to be inspected. RapidForm is ready for 3D scan-based inline inspection process with its unparalleled calculation performance.
