Medical Implant Models

This series of 3 medical implant models represent a knee, hip and shoulder. Each one is 3 1/2 x the size of the real implant. This human friendly scale shows off the design and features of the models to potential customers at trade shows.

The medical implant models were created with a combination of processes and materials, including CNC routed tooling board and 3D printed parts. The surface textures varied quite a bit and featured vacuum metalized chrome and clear coat paint to resemble a glass finish.

Two of the models - the hip and shoulder - were modular designs. Some parts nestled into each other, while others attached by way of magnets. In this way, the models could be disassembled for demonstration purposes.
