At Midas we relish challenges and when it comes to complex, organic forms and tricky features, the human body is surely up there with the best (or worst) of them. Having the ability to both machine and capture such forms and be able to provide realistic results is a rare skill and one that should never be underestimated.
It requires an in-depth knowledge of machining strategies and tooling mechanisms and splits, combined with a creative flair and ability to tweak surfaces without loss of features. From heads, bums and arms right through to midwifery birthing models, our engineers have pretty much seen it all!
It's easy to understand why the Health Profession benefit greatly from anatomically correct and functioning models - after all, I am sure I am not alone in feeling slightly relieved that training can be completed and practiced, practiced, practiced on such models before you or I are worked on.
These types of models may well be challenging to develop and manufacture, especially when you need to take into account the varying shapes and sizes of the population, but they are essential and truly life-saving.
They support and help train doctors, nurses, midwives and medical support units out in war zone's ensuring all functions are working at the highest levels; an essential aid and one that we are proud to support in the best way we can. It's fair to say tooling becomes simple in comparison to the skill and dedication of health workers.
