IMAGE-BASED MESHING - REVERSE ENGINEERING REALITY

Download programme and directions

Simpleware and ARUP are pleased to invite you to a one day event and training course on Image-based meshing for Biomechanics, Biomedical and Materials Applications. This workshop is aimed at those currently using, as well as those interested in using, 3D image data (as obtained from CT, Micro-CT, MRI and Ultrasound) to generate Rapid Prototyping, CAD and Finite Element/Finite Volume models.

During the morning session a number of leading researchers will present both industrial and academic applications. The afternoon session will provide a demonstration and a hands-on workshop on model generation using Simpleware software. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own 3D imaging data and will be given one to one help and advice on model generation during the afternoon clinic.
