Dear Sirs,
My name is Linda Lancere from largest 3D printing company in Baltic States,
which recently opened the first industrial 3D printer facility in Baltic
States (
www.3ders.org/articles/20160204-first-industrial-plastic-3d-printing-facility-in-the-baltics-opens-in-riga.html.
We have been in 3D industry for last 3 years and gained some substantial
understanding and experience.
I'm turning to You because we consider Your organisation and our project
definitely would have mutual advantage from our solution.
Back in 2014 we have defined our mission which involves creating a Standard
for mass customization of individually generated easily accessible and low
cost smart prosthetic devices for various disabilities based on crowd
sourced designs.
In July 2015 we were selected among top 25 out of more than 150 ideas in
the FABulous accelerator with our project idea WIDE (We Improve Device
Experience), please see pdf attached;
Here at WiDE we are currently working on a *software solution that
automates the customization process of the assistive device to fit every
user's individual needs by combining 3D scan data with predefined
prosthetic device templates. *
Key functionalities of the software:
- scan quality control
- automatic scan orientation and placement recognition – anatomical parts/
residual fingers
- individual template customization of separate pre-defined zones not only
general scaling;
- template inner palm carved according to the 3d scan surface;
- invariable areas while pre-defined zone adjustment, e.g., holes for wires
and springs;
- defined interaction relations between adjustable zones - when palm size
is changed, fingers adjust proportionally, etc.;
- automatic dis/assembling of the model for printing
- result -> ready-to-print 3d file
Software development is now in the final development stage therefore we are
looking for collaboration to test the software, please note that we’re
elaborating software solution not P&O production business.
We’re willing to execute test modifications: to adjust your template to
software needs, as a result YOU would be able to customize Your patient
individual cases with Your template. We would print the customized P&O 3D
model and deliver to you. All the tests would be performed with Your
permission and delivered to You. In case you would be satisfied with the
customized template, we would be happy to service you in order You could
deliver P&O to hundreds of Your patients in shorter terms.
Please feel free to forward this information to whom it might concern.
We would appreciate having a skype call to discuss our possible cooperation
starting from 15.02.16.
Looking forward to hearing from You,
Kind regards,
Linda Lancere
