Lake Tahoe, CA – Materialise
announces the launch of the Mimics Educational Program – MimicsSE
(Student Edition). The program was unveiled at the ASME Summer
Bioengineering Conference in Lake Tahoe, CA. Mimics SE was born out of
a need expressed by professors to get cutting edge technology in the
hands of students in order to set them apart as they enter the job
market. The intention of this program is to provide professors with a
complete curriculum package designed for ease of implementation with
practical hands-on experience.

The
Materialise motto is “Driving your innovations”. In order for us to
achieve this goal, we recognize the importance of educating the future
of the biomedical engineering industry. This has led to Materialise
developing a curriculum based student version of our traditional Mimics
software to equip students for the future with sought after software
skills.

Mimics bridges the gap
between medical image data and engineering design and analysis. Leading
biomedical companies and research institutions around the world are
using Mimics for endless applications. The personalization of medical
care is a growing trend. The ability to use patient specific data to
design better solutions is clearly important. Providing cutting-edge
companies who are leading this initiative with employees who are
prepared to hit the ground running is a goal for Materialise.

The Mimics Educational
Program includes the student version of Mimics (MimicsSE), a course
book and data sets. The course book teaches skills from basic
segmentation to advanced FEA meshing through tutorials and homework
assignments in a step by step, easy-to-follow format. The data sets are
patient specific and range from cardiovascular to orthopaedic. In
addition, students and professors have access to the new Mimics User Community so that they can interact with professionals who are currently using Mimics.

Professors who beta tested the program in their classrooms are
enthusiastic about this opportunity. Dr Binil Starly from the
University of Oklahoma said, “The students find it [MimicsSE] easy, yet
powerful enough to handle complex design…inclusion in their resume
makes them more attractive to medical device industry for internships
and job opportunities.”
