No one is faster!

Occasionally, the need arises for a custom implant that is unique to an individual, and the available carving blocks do not readily match the clinical need (for example to correct Poland's Syndrome).

AART is your premier manufacturer of custom implants. Routinely, AART can respond with the finished implant within two to four weeks after receipt of drawing or moulage, *slightly longer for custom implants via digital medium. In many cases we can respond significantly faster.

AART, 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.

Protocols

For best results, please follow these protocols when creating CT scans to be used for making Biomodels:

• Conventional CT (MDCT)
  
  
• General CT Scanning Guidelines for Biomodels

Moulage kits are available to facilitate generating the specifications or model for the custom implant.

For the convenience of its customers, AART's highly experienced personnel are available to assist at every step of the process.
