CAD Models for Femur, Tibia, and Spinal Column
CAD Models for Femur, Tibia, and Spinal Column
(OP)
I currently looking to get a few CAD models: femur, tibia, and the spinal column in CAD so I can show the placement of instruments and implants I'm designing in a few of my presentations.
Unfortunately I'm very limited on time and do not have the capabilities at this time to generate the 3D models for them.
Does anyone have any insight on where to get CAD models without paying for them?
Thanks

You will need to register but I think it is free.

I know you probably don't have 3D Studio, but this is an example of one:

If you want an actually good model, you will have to pay dearly: http://www.zygote.com/biomed_main.php
We got a very nice spine model optimized for Solidworks (no messy polygons) but it cost a pretty penny. If you want something cheaper I would post it as a challenge in a 3d graphics forum, "who can make the best model?"
RE: CAD Models for Femur, Tibia, and Spinal Column
The tibia is an actually a pretty good model.
The "Jim in a Hurry model" does contain all the bones of the body featured as imported objects/polygons, but for representation it is pretty good.
The bones come in as imported objects with lines and planes in rather large polygons; however, you are able to delete all the unwanted bones which leaves any bone to the users discretion. I'm sure if you were able to place points and lines where the existing intersections are, then re-surface the model you could make it more accurate and then editable.
$6000 is a pretty penny for a 3d model.

If you've the software to open them, it will save you a pile of $$$, and they are quite accurate, though the datum & reference plane work to get the femur and tibia, for example, properly aligned is a nuisance. If you want, feel free to email me (tghaines@earthlink.net) and I'll send you what I've already got for the knee joint (femur, tibia, fibula, patella & pelvis), but my best efforts to get a decent spine model still blow chunks.
If anyone comes across a good CAD model for the ankle/foot joint, I'd love a copy - Thanks

Also, your dims in Sect A-A don't have dia symbols.

Haven't tried to get interior volumes yet, but exterior surfaces work quite well.
