Moorfields Eye Hospital London… the first ever patient in the world to be supplied with a fully digital 3D printed prosthetic eye… Prosthetic eye replacements will be manufactured by 3D printers in the future. Fraunhofer IGD has developed a number of technologies that supersedes the current and entirely manual production of individual prostheses. Fraunhofer’s Cuttlefish:Eye software utilises a 3D scan of the eye socket and a colour-calibrated photo of the healthy eye, to create the prosthetic eye`s 3D model. Fraunhofer’s Cuttlefish® 3D printing driver is used to print the model…

Fraunhofer IGD optimizes Cuttlefish 3D printing driver for Stratasys Polyjet applications
Future collaborative solutions planned Fraunhofer IGD, the leading international research institute in Applied Visual Computing, has optimized its Cuttlefish® 3D printer driver for Stratasys PolyJet™ 3D printing, and is working collaboratively with Stratasys on future software enhancements. Full-color, multi-material PolyJet 3D printing brings incredible realism to product designers and other creative professionals, with up to eight materials printed in one work step. Fraunhofer’s Cuttlefish software package first began supporting PolyJet systems in 2017 via the GrabCAD™ Voxel Print™ interface. Fraunhofer IGD has now improved existing and added new algorithms, which…
