(BMI) describes itself as an entrepreneurial company based in Boston, MA that began as a semi-finalist business venture in the 1998 MIT 50K Competition. It specializes in the production of physical and virtual models that replicate patient-specific anatomies from CT or MRI scan data for medical, dental, and engineering applications. The site states BMI has been a SolidWorks Solutions Partner since 2005 for its BioCAD product, which makes anatomical data accessible in a NURBS, CAD-compatible format. The page identifies Crispin B. Weinberg as President of Biomedical Modeling, Inc. Alongside Biomodels and BioCAD, the company offers anatomical engineering services. The about page lists notable cases covered in the press. Stratasys Ltd.'s launch of the J750 polyjet printer featured BMI models including illustrative models of head, hand, and heart anatomy using multiple materials and a wide range of colors. BMI worked with Boston's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center to explore the use of biomodels as tools for studying pathological anatomy, communication, planning, and decision making in a surgical setting. BMI contributed to the production of Matthew Day Jackson's Blockman, a modern sculpture featuring a tessellated version of the human skeleton. The dental journal Inside Dentistry featured an article discussing the use of BMI models for visualizing, planning, and placing dental implants. Using 1,700 CT images of King Tutankhamen's skull, BMI produced a digital reconstruction of the pharaoh's face. The page also lists a case involving the separation of conjoined twins from Guatemala. The office is located at 25 Beals Street, Brookline, MA 02446 and the phone is 617-905-2268. No hours, prices, or fees are published; the site directs visitors to contact the company or request a quote.

Biomodels are anatomically accurate physical replicas of patient-specific anatomy built from CT or MRI scan data. The scan data is processed into three-dimensional data that can be built by various means of 3D printing, and the site says various build process and material options and finishing treatments are available. The site states BMI Biomodels have been used in dentistry, medicine, and a variety of other applications. BioCAD models provide anatomical data as workable CAD models of patient anatomy that can be measured, modified, and used in the design of biomedical devices. They are offered in formats compatible with modern engineering CAD software including SOLIDWORKS, parasolid, .STEP, and .IGES. The site states BMI has been recognized as a SOLIDWORKS Solutions Partner for the BioCAD product. Design and engineering services incorporate mechanical features and modified anatomy into the models, and 3D renderings can be provided for review prior to final production. Examples the site gives include adding flanges and ports to anatomy to facilitate medical device testing, designing assembly features into models with multiple component parts, mirroring data to create custom prostheses based on patient anatomy, and developing CT phantom models and educational models simulating the tactile feel of tissues. Data acquisition services include an anatomical library for models based on normal human anatomy, 3D laser scanning of objects such as dental casts, and help finding a convenient CT scanning center via the site's resources page. The site publishes no price, cost, or rate information for any of these services; customers are directed to request a quote or contact the company for an estimate. Biomedical Modeling, Inc. (BMI) specializes in the production of three-dimensional custom anatomical models, primarily for dental, medical, and biomedical engineering applications. Using CT or MRI scan data, the company produces both physical solid models, which it calls Biomodels, and CAD-compatible virtual models, which it calls BioCAD. The site describes both as accurate three-dimensional representations of patient-specific anatomy. BMI also provides anatomical engineering and design services to help clients find solutions to specific anatomically-related projects. The site states its biomodels are used for visualization, surgical planning, implant production, medical device development, surgical simulation, and healthcare education. The application areas the site lists as its own service categories are implant dentistry, surgery and prosthetics, biomedical engineering, education and training, forensic science and anthropology, and anatomical art. Alongside model production, BMI offers data acquisition assistance, including access to an anatomical library, 3D laser scanning, and help locating a CT scanning center. The company is located at 25 Beals Street, Brookline, MA 02446, in the Boston area, and the phone number published on every page is 617-905-2268. To start work, the site directs customers to a quote request form, a dental model order form, and a file transfer page for sending scan data. No prices, rates, fees, or cost figures appear anywhere on the site, and no production or delivery timelines are published. Pricing is handled by asking for an estimate through the quote request form or by contacting the company directly. No business hours are posted, so the open times for the office are not something the website states.

The office address appears in the footer of every page. The phone number published is 1-617-905-2268 (also written 617-905-2268). Brookline sits inside the Boston metropolitan area; the site does not define a service area or list any other office locations, and it does not say which regions or countries it serves. The contact page provides an online contact form asking for full name, e-mail address, phone number, company, and job title or specialty, with a dropdown for the area of interest. The listed interest options are Dental Models, Surgical Models, Implants and Prosthetic Templates, BioCAD for Engineering and Design, Education and Training Models, Forensic Applications, Art, and Other. The form also asks for a preferred contact method of telephone or e-mail. For sending scan data, the page states that scan data on CDs and other disk media can be sent by courier (FedEx, UPS, or U.S. mail) to the office address, and that data can be submitted online via the company's HIPAA-compliant Hightail Dropbox. It notes that most of the medical image data BMI works with is stored as a folder of DICOM (.dcm) files, and points to a separate page with more detailed data transfer instructions. No business hours, open times, or booking or appointment scheduling system are published on the site. There are no prices, rates, or fees on the contact page; quotes are requested through the quote request form. Lists Boston, Brookline, and Elko as a location. Names Massachusetts as a service area. Areas beyond these are not published. Source: https://www.biomodel.com/contact.html ## Prices To order a dental model, the site gives three steps: obtain scan data of the patient, fill out the Dental Model Order Form, and send a copy of the scan data. For other applications, the site asks customers to fill out the Quote Request Form for an estimate, or to contact the company to discuss their needs. The Quote Request form is described as an online general quote request form for biomodels, anatomical CAD models, or other BMI services. The Dental Model Order Form is described as a standard order form for maxillary and mandibular dental models. Both are reachable from the How to Order page, along with Scanning Protocols, File Transfer instructions, and an Additional Resources page. No prices, price list, rates, fees, or cost estimates are published on the website. Pricing is quoted case by case, so the only published route to a cost figure is the quote request form or direct contact. The site also does not publish turnaround times or production schedules. For customers who need help with data acquisition, the site says BMI can help find a CT scanning center or provide 3D laser scanning services for patient-specific models, and that for more generic models it may be able to supply suitable data from its anatomical library. Under Contact Information the page says to contact the company with any questions or for further assistance, and states that BMI will be happy to help over the phone or via an online meeting. The published phone number is 617-905-2268. The site does not list office hours or an appointment booking calendar, so scheduling a call is arranged by contacting the company.

Work generally begins with medical scan data. The image data is processed and translated into a digital 3D model, which is then used either to fabricate a physical model or processed further into a part that can be manipulated in engineering software. The site says BMI processes and interpolates CT and MRI images in close cooperation with the radiologist and the surgical team. Cross-sectional images are organized, reviewed, and the structures of interest are selected, or segmented, to construct three-dimensional digital surface models. Prior to fabrication, three-dimensional drawings can be provided for review and approval. The majority of Biomodels are fabricated using stereolithography, an additive manufacturing process in which models are built from a photopolymer resin cured layer by layer by a computer-guided UV laser. After building, the model is immersed in a chemical bath to remove excess material, cured in a UV oven, and given a protective coating. The page states the typical slice thickness is 0.05 or 0.1 mm. It also states, verbatim, that "Biomodels can be made out of resins that are USP class VI approved for sterilization and use in the operating room." Material options described include transparent, translucent, and opaque materials that can be rigid or flexible, with specific features colored if needed, plus post-processing options such as modeled textures and polishing. BioCAD models translate anatomical geometries from point clouds or digital surface meshes into NURBS surface models for engineering use. The process page publishes no turnaround times, schedules, prices, or fees; contact the company or request a quote for those.
