Abstract

Bioengineering teaching has limitations in developing countries due to the inaccessibility of expensive technology like scanners and commercial software, which holds back progress in the biomedical area because of a lack of resources. In this work, a new methodology is presented with the aim of obtaining a 3D model of body part by open-source software: Meshrootn (R). Meshmixer (R), Ultimaker Cura (R); and a cell phone camera. The procedure is based on three methods which were tested: images taken for a short time, burst mode and video-to-frames. Through the process of reverse engineering photogrammetry, an arm and a foot were obtained from images and for comparing the model with the real body part, 3D printing was used. The outstanding method is video-to-frames thanks to the high quality of the generated models and the shortest reconstruction time it presents. The technique developed can promote the education of engineers in the biomedical area, also providing an advance for developers with low economic resources, allowing them to have a new possibility of research.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-12-21:

  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 5 (PlumX).

It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:

  • The work has been submitted to a journal whose editorial policy allows open Open Access publication.
