Simpleware Ltd provide world-leading software solutions for robust, fast and easy conversion of 3D images into high quality meshes, these can be used for:

• Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
• Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
• Computer Aided Design (CAD)
• Rapid Prototyping (RP)

The ease and accuracy with which models can be generated from 3D datasets such as MRI, CT, and MicroCT, has opened up image-based analysis to a variety of applications, including:

• Industrial Reverse Engineering
• Biomechanical Research
• Implant Design & Manufacturing
• Research in Materials and Composites
• Natural Sciences
