01.Customer Problem

Medical device firm required production tooling drawings for an orthopedic implant plate developed through manual prototyping.

Complex anatomical contour surfaces and precise screw hole patterns existed only as hand-modified master physical models.

Capturing freeform anatomical curves while enforcing strict linear alignment on screw locator holes.

Structured-light micro-metrology with sub-25µm accuracy, followed by hybrid organic and analytical solid modeling.

Combined organic NURBS surfaces with precise cylindrical datum axes for surgical screw guides.

Validated wall thicknesses and surface finish requirements for medical-grade manufacturing.

Clean STEP solid model and ISO 13485 compliant technical documentation.

Seamless transition from surgeon prototype to serial medical device tooling.
