BioCad

Biomedical Modeling Inc. translates CT and MRI data into accurate anatomical 3D reconstructions. These reconstructions can be output in a form to meet your needs:
• BioCAD - CAD files in a format suitable for medical device design: STEP, IGES, sldprt, stl, fea, cfd, obj … etc.
• Biomodels – physical replicas and phantoms
• Flow Models
We have a CAD library of different anatomical structures, or we can help you acquire suitable data for your project.

For those who may not be familiar with 3D file formats, here is a quick overview. There are 3 basic types of 3D files:
1- Surface/Graphics files, like STL and VRML, which can be visualized but not manipulated in CAD packages.
2- Solid files, like IGES and STEP, are made of curves and NURBS surfaces. These files can be imported into CAD and manipulated, but are not as easy to work with as parametric files.
3- Parametric files are composed of solid geometric shapes such as spheres, cones, cubes, etc. These files are native to CAD packages and provide more maneuverability than any of the other file types.
