About Study Course

Objective

To provide knowledge and develop understanding of CAD-CAM technologies in rehabilitation. To introduce students to the principles of a 3D scanner, 3D printer and milling machine; applications thereof in the medical field.

Preliminary Knowledge

Prior knowledge of human anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, orthotics, prosthetics.

Learning Outcomes

Knowledge

1.• will be able to explain terms related to CAD-CAM technologies; • to describe the principles and use of a 3D scanner, 3D printer and milling machine; • to evaluate the patient’s functional status; • to compare products made using conventional methods and CAD-CAM technology.

Skills

1.• to perform 3D scanning; • to choose the most suitable/appropriate software to process scanned data; • to select and use available literature resources on CAD-CAM technologies; • to use terms related to CAD-CAM technologies.

Competences

1.• applies the knowledge acquired about the principles of a 3D scanner, 3D printer and milling machine; • able to interpret and analyse data using CAD technologies.
