Claim 15:
16. A system for designing 3D printed objects for insertion into a body of a patient, the system comprising:
at least one imaging device configured to capture image data of at least a portion of a patient's body;
a user computing device having a graphical user interface (GUI) display, wherein the user computing device is configured to receive and output information for designing an object to be 3D printed and inserted into the portion of the patient's body;
a printing device configured to print the object; and
a computing system in communication with the at least one imaging device, the user computing device, and the printing device, wherein the computing system is configured to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from the at least one imaging device, image data of at least a portion of the patient's body;
generating, based on the image data, a 3D representation of the portion of the patient's body;
retrieving, from a database, historic patient data for other patients that have a same or similar health condition as the patient;
generating at least one recommendation for a design of a 3D printed object to be inserted into the portion of the patient's body based on a comparison of the 3D representation of the portion of the patient's body to the retrieved historic patient data,
wherein generating the at least one recommendation for the design of the 3D printed object to be inserted into the portion of the patient's body comprises scoring a result from the comparison of the 3D representation of the portion of the patient's body to the retrieved historic patient data,
wherein a score value for the result is determined based on whether a size of the 3D printed object would fit within spatial limits of the portion of the patient's body, and
wherein the score value is assigned above a threshold score value based on a determination that the size of the 3D printed object is within a threshold size range as the portion of the patient's body;
transmitting instructions to the user computing device that, when executed using one or more processors, cause the user computing device to output in a graphical user interface (GUI) display the 3D printed object and the at least one recommendation;
receiving, from the user computing device, an altered 3D representation of the portion of the patient's body, wherein a user at the user computing device provided user input, using one or more tools displayed in the GUI display, to alter the 3D representation based on the at least one recommendation;
running a simulation to test the design of the 3D printed object based on the altered 3D representation of the portion of the patient's body; and
returning simulation results based on running the simulation.
