Knee Implant Scanning Jig

Our Development Time: 2 weeks
Equipment Used: FDM 3D Printers, Photogrammetry Cameras
Materials: Threaded Bar, Polyurethane Strip, PLA, Fasteners
Expertise Leveraged: Mechanical Design, Rapid Prototyping, Collaborative Testing

The Brief

A Bacteriology team within the University of Glasgow contacted us about a bespoke fixture to hold infected knee implants for scanning and analysis.

Our Solution

We designed a bespoke jig to grip the complex curvature of the implant with minimal contact area. The design was optimised to enable maximum scanning surface area.

The Impact

We handed over a 3D printable fixture which interfaced with the in-house scanning technology within the UofG team. This enabled detailed scanning of microbial presence on infected human implants.
