For each mandible, three sets of digital models were produced using three different scanning protocols, including one extraoral [Ortho Insight 3D (Motionview Software, Hixson, TN)] and two intraoral [ITero (Align Technologies, San Jose, CA) and Lythos (Ormco Corp., Orange, CA)].
Finally, another important part of the study was the use of digital vessel models to validate the quantitative parameters.
However, in complex topography zones, data interpolation is not adequate and the use of Digital Terrain Model (DTM) information can be helpful.
The design of manufacturing systems can see dramatic improvements through the use of digital technologies for modeling and simulation prior to deployment.
One advantage of using digital models, scholars say, is that they can easily be updated with new findings.
Previous systems he's developed have been used to create digital models of actors in movies such as The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Spider Man 2. The 3-D project was three years in the making; help also came from USC's film school and Fakespace Labs, a NASA spinout company.
Students used 3-D digital models of precedents to review, replicate, revise, reshape and recreate elements of urban design in an environment of accelerated learning.
This new model makes use of digital repositories as a more optimal medium for publishing data, whilst retaining the conventional journal article for the narrative.
The primary objective of a digital innovation center is to accelerate digital innovation by rethinking the customer experience, improving operational efficiency and testing new business models through the use of digital technologies such as Big Data, the Internet of Things, Social Media, Mobile, Robotics, Augmented Reality and 3D Printing.
