Knee Implant Scanning Jig

Timescale: 2 weeks
Equipment Used: FDM 3D Printers, Photogrammetry Cameras
Materials: Threaded Bar, Polyurethane Strip, PLA, Fasteners
Expertise Leveraged: Mechanical Design, Rapid Prototyping, Collaborative Testing

The Brief

Scanning a knee implant means holding a delicate, highly polished part perfectly still, then turning it to capture every angle.

Our Solution

We designed a bespoke rotating vice: a 3D-printed frame with threaded clamping rods and wing nuts, so the implant can be gripped gently, locked in place and rotated between scans.

The Impact

A custom piece of lab apparatus at TRL 3, designed and prototyped around the parts it needs to hold.
