Abstract: The present disclosure provides a database and methods to allow users to download and/or upload scanned or raw data for objects from or into a database. The data relating to the objects will be stored in a design file on the database, and will allow for end users to print the objects on a 3D printer at their location. A fee may be charged by a manager of the database. The database will allow for sharing of images between health care providers so that they can reproduce and/or redesign the saved images to produce instruments, cutting guides, models, prosthesis for procedures that are specifically suited for their procedure and patient.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides devices and methods for obtaining images of body parts, implants, instruments and models to provide for a mobile hospital, operating room, and/or facility to print desired tools or prostheses. A Conex of the present disclosure includes a computer, image scanning device, printer, and raw materials, and optionally an autoclave and second, product verification scanner. All of these components will be co-located within the Conex. The operator of the Conex will also have access to a database with stored data relating to the large number of objects needed in surgical applications (such as tools and anatomical norms of bone and tissue), allowing the ability to field a mobile hospital at a greatly reduced weight, cost and time.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides devices and methods for obtaining images of body parts, implants, bones, and other areas of a patient that are involved in plastic or reconstructive surgery. A scanning device obtains an image of a body part of a patient to be replicated, sends it to a computer for review and/or manipulation, and the computer sends it to a printer or fabricator for reproduction. The scanning device, computer, and/or printer can be co-located, meaning that they are within the same facility. As an alternative to scanning the patient's body part, the computer of the present disclosure can obtain an image of the required body part from a stored set of anthropometric data on a database. The surgeon can modify the part produced from the anthropometric data as needed.
