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.Students will learn the stages of the digital workflow in technical orthopaedics, including scanning, modelling, manufacturing, and post-processing. They will acquire the fundamental principles of digital modelling for the design of orthoses and prostheses for the upper and lower limbs, spine, and head. Additionally, they will deepen their knowledge of G-code generation and its significance in the manufacturing process, using 3D printers or CNC machines.
Skills
1.Students will learn how to acquire patient data using a 3D scanner and prepare the collected data for the subsequent stages of the digital workflow. They will gain an understanding of how to apply digital modelling principles to create personalised medical devices, as well as how to generate the G-code required for manufacturing.
Competences
1.Students will be prepared to independently develop personalised medical devices based on specific clinical cases. They will be able to confidently use 3D technologies to create high-quality, customised products and to professionally manage the entire process, from the scanning stage to the physical realisation of the final product.
