Transforming reconstructive surgery through innovative design technologies
…searchers experimented with novel ways to manipulate 3D data (i.e. from Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or Computerised Tomography (CT) scans) and CAD data using product design tools. One tool, Haptic Technology – usually employed in the computer generation industry for character creation as it allows users to ‘feel’ and mechanically manipulate items in a virtual environment using a special force-feedback stylus – allowed them to ‘virtually sculp…
