Medical Equipment - Boston, MA, US
Biomedical Modeling Inc. (BMI) is a small anatomical engineering service bureau in Boston. We provide 3D modeling services for surgeons, hospitals, dentists, medical device designers and artists. Starting from medical imaging data (CT or MRI), BMI extracts 3D information for modeling including additive fabrication (3D printing technologies), computer aided design (CAD - we are a SolidWorks Solutions Partner), casting and laser scanning. BMI models are used for planning complex surgical procedures such as maxillofacial reconstruction, prefabricating prosthetic implants such as cranial plates, and designing medical devices for operations such as minimally invasive mitral valve repair. BMI is best known for donating the models used to plan the successful separation of conjoined twin girls from Guatemala at UCLA by Dr. Henry Kawamoto in 2002. Another claim to fame was being one of the teams chosen by the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities to reconstruct what King Tutankhamun's face looked like based on the CT scan of his mummy.BMI also enjoys working with artists, who explore anatomy in new and fascinating ways. We have made models and worked on projects for a number of artists including Matthew Day Jackson, Kiki Smith, Noel Grunwaldt, Candice Ivy, and Richard Duca. Projects have included models made from scans of the artists' own skulls and brains, of tessellated human skeletons, and of bird skeletons as well as digital sculpting and laser scanning maquettes for producing larger scale molds or for museum replicas.
