Expected results
It can be expected that the project will provide three types of results: scientific, innovational, but also specific new products and services. Scientific results will be published in leading international scientific journals and they include:
-
Generic 3D models of the most relevant bones
-
Parametric 3D model of bone tissue in growth and in reparation process
-
Defining optimal bone substituent from the combination of inorganic phosphate and bio-polymer
-
Parametric model of joints and soft tissues, particularly in terms of neurovascular elements, for realistic simulation of interventions
-
The method for determining the morphology and size of the missing parts of bones
-
Method for the production of non-metallic implants of non-biodegradable and biodegradable implants using rapid prototyping technologies
-
Models and methods for the prediction of mechanical behavior of bone-OM assemblies, optimization of size, shape and position of OM in relation to the bone and prediction of OM durability
-
Model and method for prediction of behavior of osteoporosis attacked bone
-
The method for determining the optimal shape of metal implants for internal fixation of the upper and lower extremities of tibia.
-
New methods and ways of planning the technological processes
-
Model of the system for the management of business processes, with built-in knowledge
-
The formal model for fast configuration of production supply chains
Expected innovational results are:
-
Technical documentation for the production of morphologically customized metal implants for internal fixation of the upper and lower extremities of tibia
-
Specification of software tools for planning and simulation of surgical and orthopedic interventions in 3D space
-
Environment for integral, knowledge based representation of products and services
-
Requirements of application systems for management of business processes, production planning, supply chain configuration
-
Technical documentation and technology of development of bone matrix (scaffold) for the growth of bone cells.
Equally important results of the project are the following new products and services:
-
Morphologically adapted metal implants for internal fixation of the upper and lower extremities of tibia
-
Missing bone parts destroyed by tumors and other pathological conditions
-
Prototypes of the application systems for visualization of the formal models of products and business-research environment, business process management, supply chain configuration and production planning
