About

Danice Chou is a 3D modeling engineer with a background in biomedical engineering focused in biomechanics and biomaterials.

She has contributed to a diverse range of projects involving design, prototype development, and a combination of organic and mechanical geometries. She has worked with various 3D technologies from data acquisition and digital construction to physical manufacturing.

Her artistic side has lead her on explorations with nature photography, hand-drawn illustrations, and computer graphics.  She is open to collaborations and commission requests.


Biomedical Models & Anatomical Engineering

Danice’s technical work has focused on the creation of custom and patient-specific anatomical models for various medical applications including surgical planning, implant design, medical device testing, biomedical research, and healthcare training.

She has contributed to the production and development of models used in implant dentistry, craniofacial surgery, cardiovascular and orthopedic studies, neurosurgical simulation, radiology and oncology research, forensic investigation, and pharmaceutical illustration.


Prototype Design & CAD Modeling

She has also helped inventors and entrepreneurs develop initial concepts into further refined mechanically-oriented designs and physical prototypes of various subject matter from molded electrical housing components and medical device packaging to novelty-themed beverage vessels and artistically sculpted motorcycle helmets.


Wet Laboratory Experience

Beyond the office, workshop, and studio, Danice has also spent some time in biological and chemical laboratories while observing cell cultures and learning about organic compound purification.
