Abstract: A foot metatarsal bone implant system including a press fit implant configured for stabilizing the foot metatarsal bone includes concave and convex components configured for mounting in the MTP joint. The implant system includes multiple implant sizes available to ensure proper fit for different patients. The concave and convex portions may be grit-blasted to enhance osteo-integration with the patient's bone. The metatarsal component may include a talon design for increased implant purchase and prevention of implant dislocation. The implant system may be configured for conversion to arthrodesis without removing the intramedullary components, facilitating disengagement of joint components.

Abstract: A scanner system for capturing a three-dimensional model of an object includes a laser and a camera to capture two-dimensional images of the object. The system also includes a tube mounted to a rail, a central processor configured to receive data collected from the laser and the camera and an actuation mechanism configured to move the tube along the rail. The tube is configured to move generally along a travel axis of the rail. The tube includes open first and second tube ends. The laser and camera are mounted inside the tube between the first and second tube ends. The first tube end includes a first continuous ring and the second tube end includes a second continuous ring. A channel extends through the tube between the first and second rings positioned adjacent the rail in an assembled configuration.

Abstract: A system for 3D scanning and visualization for modelling an orthotic including a scanning device having a LiDAR and a TrueDepth camera that is configured as a sensor configured to capture depth information from objects, available in either LiDAR or TrueDepth camera configurations, and a laser-assisted device to configure resolution. The system including augmented reality or virtual reality glasses, a charging console, a software interface and a handheld station to cover the sensor. The virtual reality glasses configured to overlay digital information onto real world objects. The charging console comprised of a station configured to provide power and replenish a battery. The software interface configured to process, analyze, and display data captured by the scanning device and interact with the virtual reality glasses. The handheld station configured to cover the sensor, accessories, and laser-assisted device that is connected to the virtual reality glasses.

Abstract: A method for automated manufacturing strategy generation can include: identifying features of a desired part from a virtual model; and determining a tactic strategy based on the identified features. The method can additionally include: determining a toolpath primitive for each tactic; combining the toolpath primitives for the tactics to generate a master toolpath; and translating the master toolpath into machine code.

Abstract: A 3D printed cast or splint for application to a patient's body to immobilize a body part includes first and second shell portions configured to conform to at least a portion of the body part. The first shell portion has a distal end, a proximal end, opposing interfacing edges, a plurality of venting holes and a first engagement mechanism positioned proximate one of the opposing interfacing edges. A reinforcement portion extends between the proximal and distal ends. The second shell portion has a distal end, a proximal end, opposing interfacing edges, a plurality of venting holes and a second engagement mechanism positioned proximate one of the opposing interfacing edges. The first engagement mechanism interacts with the second engagement mechanism in a mounted configuration to facilitate mounting of the first shell portion to the second shell portion.
