The Biomodeling Process

from 2D to 3D

Who are we?

Biomedical Modeling, Inc. is a Boston-based anatomical engineering company.

We make patient-specific anatomical models

from medical imaging data (CT, MRI, etc.)

for dental, medical, and engineering applications.

We provide virtual & physical biomodels to...

surgeons & dentists

for planning complex procedures,

and biomedical engineers for medical device design and testing.

anaplastologists for making custom implants,

What do we do?

Additive Fabrication Data Segmentation Data Acquisition Problem Definition 3D Modeling(mesh) CAD Modeling (NURBS)

We follow a step by step process starting with problem definition.

How do we do it?

For patient-specific models we start working from your CT or MRI scans.

If a patient-specific model is not required, we may have suitable data on file in our anatomical library.

Data Acquisition

We segment the relevant anatomy from stacks of scan images.

liver

kidney

skin

bone

Image Stack(DICOM Data)

Image Segmentation

sagittal

coronal

axial

We assemble a 3D model from the segmented images.

Image Segmentation

3D Modeling

We clean up, repair, and revise the model's 3D surface mesh as needed.

We fabricate physical models via additive manufacturing (3D printing).

BiomodelFabrication

We also process the 3D models further so they are compatible with CAD software for engineering analysis and design.

3D Triangular Mesh

This process produces

accurate 3D models of

human anatomy.

3D models allow for

concrete visualization,

a tactile interface, and a

platform for examining

pathological anatomy.
