'''OrthoCAD Network Research Cell''' is a federally funded research and development facility in the [[Indian Institute of Technology Bombay]] (IIT Bombay), [[Mumbai]], India.<ref name="psa">Development of Biomaterials, Devices and Implants for Orthopaedic
applications in India, http://psa.gov.in/writereaddata/12420536351_progress_report.pdf, pp.56-59 (accessed on 10 Nov.'09)</ref> The Laboratory's primary function is the design and development of reconstruction systems for orthopaedic and other applications, the current focus is on mega-implants for limb-saving surgery, mainly for children affected by bone cancer. The Cell later led to the establishment of Biomedical Engineering and Technology (incubation) Centre ([[BETiC]]).

==Mission==
The mission of the OrthoCAD group is to develop [[indigenous peoples|indigenous]] research and development capabilities on medical implants, surgical instruments (Armamentarium), testing protocol, and surgery planning and navigation system. This is expected to respond to the growing medical needs of Indian patients, to provide affordable and available devices, and to train graduates<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://people.sutd.edu.sg/~subburaj/ | title=Subburaj Karupppasamy | Medical Engineering and Design Laboratory | Singapore University of Technology and Design}}</ref> as well as research scientists in the area of [[Biomedical engineering]] and manufacturing.

==Research partners==
The OrthoCAD Network Research Cell was established in January 2007 in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at [[Indian Institute of Technology Bombay|IIT Bombay]].<ref name="psa"/> It is supported by the Office of the Principal Scientific Advisor to the Government of India, New Delhi. In 2017, a follow-on funding was released by the Office to NFTDC for pilot production and human clinical trials.

The R&D team comprises mechanical engineers, orthopaedic surgeons and materials scientists from

*[[Indian Institute of Technology Bombay]], Mumbai (Prof. Bhallamudi Ravi)
*Non Ferrous Technology Development Centre, [[Hyderabad, India|Hyderabad]] (Dr. K. Balasubramanian)
*[[Tata Memorial Hospital]] and [https://www.hindujahospital.com/ P.D. Hinduja Hospital], Mumbai (Dr. Manish Agarwal)

==Facilities==
The Centers at IIT Bombay and NFTDC together have appropriate equipment and instrumentation, including computing facilities.

* [[Rapid prototyping]] system for feasibility studies
* Knee simulator and testing machine for loosening and fatigue studies
* Computerized [[Universal Testing Machine]] for static testing of [[implant (medicine)|implants]]
* Stereo optical [[microscope]] for analyzing [[wear]] and fracture of implants
* [[Photoelasticity]] test setup for FEM (virtual testing of implants) validation
* Analytical balance (implant wear particle study)
* [[Surgery]] navigation system for linking with a 3D planning [[software]]<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Subburaj | first1 = K. | last2 = Ravi | first2 = B. | last3 = Agarwal | first3 = M.G. | year = 2009 | title = Automated identification of anatomical landmarks on 3D bone models reconstructed from CT scan images | doi = 10.1016/j.compmedimag.2009.03.001 | pmid = 19345065 | journal = Computerized Medical Imaging and Graphics | volume = 33 | issue = 5| pages = 359–368 }}</ref>
