Biomedical product design

Description

The research activity in the biomedical field refers to the study and development of software tools for the design of medical devices, as well as the use of commercial tools for the characterization of medical devices and human joints.
Here are some projects.
Design of CAD tools for the design of orthopedic diabetic shoes
Software tool for 3D design of custom shapes

Software tool for 3D design of custom orthotics

Design of customized prostheses and surgical guides for reconstruction of fractured orbits or for the correction of congenital malformations

Study of the effects due to mandibular advancement devices at the temporomandibular joint level and periodontal ligaments, within the Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome

Laboratories

Activities are carried out in the Virtual Prototyping laboratory.
