You're invited to a webinar run by Synopsys Simpleware on April 22nd, where new trends in 3D image-based reverse engineering and medical additive manufacturing will be explored. The webinar will also look at a recent project with Nikon Metrology, Thornton Tomasetti, and 4WEB Medical.

Being able to create accurate medical devices that are closely matched to a patient’s unique anatomy requires precision imaging, measurements, and design. A critical part of PrinterPrezz’s unique medifacturing™ workflow is our process of turning magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) scans into a 3D CAD image that can be manipulated and used for 3D printing.
We are pleased to announce the release of the Synopsys Simpleware ScanIP Medical edition. This exciting new version of Simpleware ScanIP comes with FDA 510(k) clearance, and CE and ISO 13485:2016 certification as a medical device.
Simpleware ScanIP Medical is the ideal choice for those working with 3D imaging to create medical devices for pre-clinical workflows such as implant design and patient-specific planning.
We look for 4 postdoctoral researchers (or equivalent by experience) in the field of software development for and nondestructive inspection of 3D printed components. The targeted sectors of application are medical and high-end industrial applications. Companies are strongly involved in the research projects.

We are very pleased to announce the launch of a new journal in the field of mechanical engineering, Case Studies in Engineering Failure Analysis. This journal provides a forum for the rapid publication of short, structured Case Studies in Engineering Failure Analysis and related Short Communications and will provide an essential compendium of case studies for practitioners in the field of engineering failure analysis and others who are interested in the ways in which components fail.
Failure of pharmaceutical packaging incurs the risk of negative health outcomes and expensive product recalls. Pre-filled syringes represent a growing portion of the drug packaging market. During its working life, a syringe ex-periences stresses that may result in material damage. Specifically, the syringe barrel may develop microcracks that coalesce and propagate, causing the syringe to frac-ture and its contents to lose sterility. Abaqus/Standard offers the technologies necessary to include fracture and failure in the syringe design process.
In the design of hearing instruments it is important to achieve the highest possible gain without introducing feedback between the microphone and loudspeaker. With more gain, a larger hearing loss can be accommodated and a greater number of users benefit.
Maximizing gain while minimizing the possibility of feed-back requires an optimal choice of design parameters. In this Technology Brief, we outline how Abaqus/Standard and Isight can be combined in a process to optimize the vibro-acoustic characteristics of hearing instruments.
Biodegradable polymeric stents must provide mechanical support of the stenotic artery wall for up to several months while being subjected to cyclic loading that af-fects the degradation process. To understand the appli-cability and efficacy of biodegradable polymers, a hypere-lastic constitutive model is developed for materials under-going deformation-induced degradation. The model was implemented in Abaqus/Standard and applied to a com-monly used biodegradable polymer system, poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA).
