Training
From medical students practicing surgical simulations and epidural injections, to dental students learning crown design, to biology instruction, to engine maintenance training, both the FreeForm modeling systems and the PHANTOM® haptic devices and OpenHaptics™ toolkit are used in the Training industry. Training simulations that include the sense of touch provide a more realistic training experience and improve the training of medical and dental practitioners to proficiency before treating humans.
Selected customers in this industry include: The Boeing Company, General Electric, Hokkaido University Dental School, Melerit Medical AB, University of Glasgow, University of Illinois, Yantric, Inc.
See these additional industries: Academic/Education, Dental, Medical, Simulation & Visualization.
See the available models, videos, case studies, and haptic applications below.
Stanford BoneSim
"BoneSim is a visuo-haptic environment for simulating surgical procedures where bone drilling is a significant component. This can be used for pre-operative planning or for training purposes. This system was developed by the Department of Computer Science and the Department of Surgery at Stanford University.

| Haptic Cell
Honorable Mention Winner in the SensAble Developer Challenge - The Haptic Cell is an application intended for biology instruction. It teaches the student about structures in the cell, and allows the user to use haptics to learn about transport of ions through membranes. | |
| Epidural Simulator
EpiSim is a system that utilizes a PHANTOM haptic device to simulate a spinal injection used for epidural anesthesia. Courtesy of Yantric, Inc. http://www.yantric.com | |
