Tech Front
A framework for design and manufacturing optimiza- tion of medical devices is outlined in TP09PUB13 by F. McBagonluri, R. Varadarajan and T. Fang. Taking advantage of the broad intersection of art and mathematical modeling in 3D models provides the capability of total virtual product development from concept through launch and delivery to the customer. Another paper, TP13PUB83 by A. Sirinterlikci, summarizes efforts to streamline the use of biomedical engi- neering software tools, reverse engineer- ing tools and rapid prototyping systems, in addition to Mastercam and Haas machining tools, for real-world projects designed to improve student preparation

for employability in the medical device field. In TP09PUB9, authors G. Grant et al. favorably compare the accuracy of captured images from cone beam com- puterized tomography with conventional CT images for use with rapid prototyp- ing of models and medical treatment planning software. The authors, from the Naval Postgraduate Dental School (Bethesda, MD), discuss the applica-
