Materialise Offers Mimics 12 for Image Processing, Editing
 LEUVEN, Belgium,
June 24, 2008 - Materialise releases version 12 of their image processing
software Mimics. With it they also present their brand new house style. It
proves Materialise is at the leading edge of image processing and will
continue to provide high-end solutions for image-based applications like
FEA, CFD, RP, implant design and many more.
 Mimics
12 is now equipped with a new module for the easy analysis of porous
structures. Also included is a wrap function; this quickly defeatures any 3D
model and prepares it for FE of CFD analysis; it will save you hours in
geometry preparation! Furthermore the unique centerline function (which
calculates the center of vessel or airway structures and allows you to
measure diameter, curvature, tortuosity, etc) was improved and expanded with
the ability to cut off the endings, perpendicular to the centerline. This
will provide you with nice inlet or outlet surfaces, to which you can
quickly assign boundary conditions, ready for a CFD simulation. Since
segmentation is key to get nice 3D models from your image data, Mimics 12 is
stuffed with segmentation improvements; image filters are included, to
suppress noise; editing multiple slices is expanded with the ability to
interpolate between images; dynamic region growing is now faster and more
user friendly, simplifying the extraction of artery networks for example;
all this improvements allow for even faster segmentation!
If you are interested in designing custom implants/prostheses or want to
improve generic implants based on image data, you might also want to check
out 3-matic, Materialise's solution for image based design. It allows you to
combine scan, CAD and STL data and use CAD operations on STL level, so it
eliminates time-consuming reverse engineering. The combination of Mimics and
3-matic lets you design e.g. implants very accurately and patient-specific
and is also perfect in optimizing complicated FEA meshes.
