Research Facilities and Tools
HBM QUANTUM ACQUISITION SYSTEM
Analysis and acquisition system HBM Quantum MX840 with sensors and Catman software. This system is used for force, moments and displacements measuring and stress and strain state evaluation in mechanical assemblies.
STRATASYS FORTUS 400MC – 3D professional printer builds in 11 real thermoplastics for applications that require high-performance, biocompatibility, static dissipation or resistance to heat, chemicals or UV radiation.
VERTICAL CNC MILLING CENTER FADAL VMX 2216
The Center is used for milling or drilling of any complex part from virtually any material. The working area is: X=558mm, Y=406mm, Z=508mm, Precision: 0.005mm. Maximum rotation: 8000 rot/min.
KNEE JOINT SIMULATOR
5DOF Human Knee Joint Simulator that could be used to acquire reaction forces, contact pressure or strain for a normal or prosthetic joint. This simulator was developed in 2008 during one of our research grants.
R&D SOFTWARE
ANSYS
SOLIDWORKS
MATLAB
CIMATRON
4 AXES LASAG LASER SYSTEM – has an excellent beam quality and could be used for precision cutting, drilling and welding of small parts (up to 2mm width. This is one of the world most common lasers in medical industry for instruments or stents fabrication.
ELECTROMAGNETIC TRACKING SYSTEM AURORA NDI V3
Electromagnetic tracking system Aurora NDI with 5 and 6DOF sensors that it is used to develop surgery and interventional radiology instruments.
HUMAN LUNG SIMULATOR
Computer controlled lung simulator actuated by 2 servomotors for abdominal and cardiac movements. The simulator includes real size airways molded in silicone and it is used to test bronchoscopy procedures instruments.
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
Our laboratory meets the current needs for interdisciplinary knowledge in clinical and medical engineering research activities: developing state-of-the-art medical software applications and bringing to life valuable ideas of new instruments from design to prototyping.
