DICOM2CAD: Reverse Engineering of your Cardiovascular Models

With the Mimics Innovation Suite we can proudly offer a steady workflow from DICOM images to design on anatomy. Moreover, if you would like to combine the assets of the Mimics Innovation Suite with your traditional CAD programs, we also offer the possibility for reverse engineering. STL files that are segmented in Mimics can easily be exported as IGES files.

A: Carotid artery & jugular vein segmentation - B: STL representation - C: reverse engineered IGES result  

Anatomical Reverse Engineering with the Mimics Innovation Suite is easy yet powerful:

• Reverse engineering is simple and fully automatically
• The exported IGES files show remarkable accuracy
• The exported IGES surfaces are C0

Different tools are available, allowing you to:

• Patch surfaces
• Export the patches as solid IGES files
