Yes, I meant Paw instead of Hand\u2026 and yes you may have found something useful in the next couple of paragraphs \/ post, \u00a0Buckle up and sit tight this is the beginning of an awesome story.<\/p>\n
So, the last year I met a brilliant guy (He is brilliant have 3 PHDs in Rocket Science\u2026 joking, but he really have 3 PhD in advance materials and medicine from Cambridge\u2026 so he is a big deal in science and research). And we begin a journey in Pretty much all the advance manufacturing & design stuff, I\u2019ve always thought medical devices were… basically a hardcore industry, and will require an Advance PhD degres from a world class university like Cambridge…(yes you need one of those)\u00a0 and by the time I was still working for Autodesk (short in time to do other stuff), so I decided to divided my time into advance software stuff (Autodesk) and design & science… imagine the possibilities to design and manufacture devices for people with medical problems, to be specific\u2026 head prosthetics \/ Implants.\u00a0 Sounds awesome, right?\u00a0 (yes, it is). So, we begin this journey into the medical world, and let me tell you\u2026 it is hard, very hard\u2026 just imagine the precision, the processes, tolerances, State of the art CNC Machining, Advance 3D printing, Simulation, the medical grade equipment, sterile rooms, deadlines, all those little repetitive processes and checks to avoid errors, because basically a prosthetic is not allow to fail. And If it does that\u2019s the end of the line, you are responsible the life of a person.<\/p>\n
At the time I was Designing a new fixture for Surgical Guides, for testing and prototype, and the \u00abDoc\u00bb, texted me with some new pictures, basically a new patient but this time was a furry one, a little Poodle, long story short she was attacked by Rottweiler, and the rear leg was pretty bad, the Vet tried to save the leg but, he ended up cutting the limb. So, the owners expense pretty much all their money vacation (elder couple) in his beloved friend: surgery, medicine and hospitalization, and now they need to find; though, unbreakable, military grade, cheap, & cool prosthetic for his little Poodle (challenge accepted).\u00a0 Their first prosthetic option, literally is a wood leg, and it\u2019s not a joke, in the middle of 2018 and the medicine still considering, a wood leg a suitable solution for replacing limbs. (readers of the future, Medicine still medieval in 2018)<\/p>\n
I consider myself a lucky person, had a good childhood around family, friends and dogs (since the age of 3 always had a dog around me) all sizes and shapes, Layla from the picture below is the current one, a small Chihuahua rescued from dungeons of death (my brother\u2019s Med\u2019s Occupation… sorry I lost my train of tought). So basically, I grew up with dogs, and honestly, I can\u2019t Imagine what a terrible feeling would be to have and injured friend and couldn\u2019t do anything for him, and I think that\u2019s the exact same feeling the owners have right know. So, If you are a dog lover like me, and have this ridiculous superpower of design stuff (yes\u2026 that\u2019s my mutant power: Designing Stuff) you will make some space in your agenda to take one more thing on your plate ( In the following posts, will get deeper into the amazing experience of designing a Dog prosthetics, we will cover from the research, design process, modeling, simulation, rendering, even the manufacturing process into the final product and some shots of the lucky owner\u2026 A Poodle, wearing not a Wood leg, but a wicked engineered, kick ass limb<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Facts:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Did you know that the largest population of Dogs exists in M\u00e9xico? Around 18M Dogs in whole country, (Wow that\u2019s a lot of dogs), is the largest population in South and Central America, multiply that X 4, that\u2019s 72 Million limbs (Paws).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Layla… Up here Current Dog\u00a0 guess from who we took the name?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" <\/p>\n<\/p>\n Yes, I meant Paw instead of Hand\u2026 and yes you may have found something useful in the next couple of paragraphs \/ post, \u00a0Buckle up and sit tight this is the beginning of an awesome story.<\/p>\n So, the last year I met a brilliant guy (He is brilliant have 3 PHDs in Rocket Science\u2026 joking,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3820,"featured_media":1209,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[177,180,176,178,179],"class_list":["post-1208","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-manufactura","tag-3dprinting","tag-dogs","tag-manufacture","tag-prosthetics","tag-veterinarian"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/latam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1208","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/latam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/latam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/latam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3820"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/latam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1208"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/latam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1208\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/latam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1209"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/latam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1208"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/latam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1208"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/latam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1208"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Autodesk<\/del> \/ Advance Prosthetics \/ Music \/ Cool Dog Prosthetic).\u00a0 And not a simple one, remember\u2026 Though, Unbreakable, Military Grade, Cheap, & Cool).<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/latam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/104\/2018\/04\/lyla-300x225.jpg\")
