Gable CAD mouse running on UNIX. It was possible to create detailed 3D models and then generate 2D drawings or rendered visualisations from the data. The assets of the company were acquired by Auxer in 1997 and aimed to complete the conversion of Gable CAD to Windows NT but this does not appear to have ever been released. Gable CAD Gable CAD, or Gable 4D Series, was a British architectural computer-aided design package initially developed in the early 1980s. Gable CAD was developed at the University of Sheffield in the mid-1980s under the leadership of Professor Bryan Lawson. It was spun out
Computer-assisted surgery surgical intervention will be planned and simulated virtually, before actual surgery takes place (computer-aided surgical simulation [CASS]). Using dedicated software, the surgical robot will be programmed to carry out the planned actions during the actual surgical intervention. In computer-assisted surgery, the actual intervention is defined as surgical navigation. Using the surgical navigation system the surgeon uses special instruments, which are tracked by the navigation system. The position of a tracked instrument in relation to the patient's anatomy is shown on images of the patient, as the surgeon moves the instrument. The surgeon thus uses the system to 'navigate' the location
