System and method for rapidly customizing a design and remotely manufacturing biomedical devices using a computer system

A method for manufacturing and selling individually fitted customized biomedical devices for a given recipient via a computer network, comprising:

• capturing data in a computerized form;
• converting the data to a multi-dimensional model;
• modifying the multi-dimensional model to include an internal architecture,
• converting the modified multi-dimensional model into machine instructions;
• manufacturing a customized biomedical device from the machine instructions wherein the biomedical device is anatomically correct to the individual patient;
• and
• shipping the biomedical device to the recipient for implantation.

A method for manufacturing and selling customized medical devices via a computer network, comprising:

• transmitting patient-specific data from a patient location to a secure web site via a computer network;
• manufacturing the medical device based on the transmitted data;
• delivery of the medical device;
• and
• maintaining records of the patient-specific data.

An Internet-enabled method for designing and manufacturing biomedical devices comprising:

• using an Internet-enabled system to transmit radiological images to a central server;
• converting the radiological images into a digital format;
• transmitting the digital format of the radiological images to the central server operably connected to a manufacturing station;
• and
• manufacturing the biomedical device in accordance with the radiological image.
