A CT scan can reveal the details of an injury. But when a surgeon needs to understand the shape, position and relationship of fractured bones, examining a physical model can offer another way to study the anatomy. That is where a carefully prepared 3D-printed anatomical model can become useful. In Madurai, this is not just a theoretical application of additive manufacturing. PrintPerfecto 3D has already completed a time-sensitive project for Sumathi Hospital, converting CT scan data into a physical model of a patient's fractured facial bones before a planned operation. The project illustrates a practical use of healthcare 3D printing solutions in Madurai : translating medical imaging data into a physical reference that healthcare professionals can examine from different angles. For hospitals, dentists and healthcare professionals considering this approach, the important questions are practical ones. What information is needed to begin? How does the scan become a printable model? ...
An automotive component can look perfect on a computer screen and still fail to fit when it reaches the workbench. A mounting point may be slightly off, a clip may interfere with a neighbouring component, or a design may need another revision before it is ready for testing. That is where 3D printing in automotive industry applications become particularly useful. Instead of committing to expensive tooling before a design has been checked, engineers and product developers can create a physical version, inspect it, identify problems and refine the design. For Print Perfecto, this is not just a discussion about a technology. Automotive work has been part of the company's journey since its earliest days. In December 2018, its first order involved 25 types of RV car rims and 10 types of car tyres. That early project remains a useful reminder of something important: automotive manufacturing involves many different parts, dimensions and design requirements, not just the finished vehicle...
