Bio-inspired redesign of a hip prosthesis stem for improving geometrical optimization time

Abstract It has been investigated the potential application of a bio-inspired 3D model for decreasing the time required to perform the geometrical optimization of a hip prosthesis stem. This research assumes that nature has already found the best solution for many situations, proved to be real for many cases, what has been demonstrated for the specific situation of a femur in this study. The application of bio-inspired 3D models can save up to a 35% of the time when geometrical optimizations are going to be performed.
