The Total Artificial Heart is able to completely replace the damaged heart.The university started using Pro/ENGINEER to create models of its artificial heart design in 2003 and upgraded to Creo in 2012. The team uses Creo to simulate blood flow and model component machining. According to the company, Creo also supports daily collaboration across the team by enabling the creation of easy-to-understand graphical materials with cross-sections of 3D models and animations.
Researchers at the University of Tokyo implemented PTC software to model its Total Artificial Heart.“PTC Creo has become an essential part of our development environment and a standard solution for the team in engineering an artificial heart,” said Takashi Isoyama, Ph.D., assistant professor, Department of Biomedical Engineering, the University of Tokyo Graduate School of Medicine and a member of the artificial heart research and development team. PTC Creo has successfully supported the processes of designs and studies in addition to component machining, and enables our team to make significant advances as we reach our goals.”
