3D-printed anatomical models increase patient care and reduce operation costs

3D-printed anatomical models increase patient care and reduce operation costs

Spinal surgery is highly complex. Therefore, surgeons often practise these operations on models. In a complicated case of a severely deformed spine, Newcastle Hospital used a 3D-printed anatomical model to simulate the operation, improving the patient experience and saving £8000 in costs associated with the surgery.

Re-imagining product design – 3D printing and the CMF opportunity

Re-imagining product design – 3D printing and the CMF opportunity

In the 21st century, product design is central to driving revenue – it provides an opportunity to connect to consumers, increase sales, and personify and build a brand. The CMF design process – colour, material, finishing – is an essential part of product design but, for various reasons, remains a challenge for designers to integrate easily into the design process.

Highways England trains control room operators virtually

Highways England trains control room operators virtually

One of the great strengths of virtual reality (VR) is its ability to allow users to experience real-world training scenarios, without endangering themselves, colleagues or the general public.

Cutting wasted product development time for knife maker

Cutting wasted product development time for knife maker

Engineers at the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) have saved a knife manufacturer valuable time and wasted energy by simulating the manufacturing process and estimating the production costs of introducing additive manufacturing (AM) in its production process.
