Femur is the largest bone in a human. It connects the pelvic bone to the knee, and plays a vital role in carrying load, running and other physical activities. Its shape and contour is of prime importance while performing total hip or knee replacements. Three Dimensional (3D) image reconstructions of the Femur are essential for total or partial replacement procedures using artificial implants, crouch and gait analysis, kinematics of the knee and hip and other bio mechanical procedures. "Intelligent" materials and implants are being developed for knee and hip replacements and there is a demand for prototypes to be used as practice benches to check out interactions of the bone with the implant before the actual surgery. 3D imaging of the Femur is a difficult task due to its complex shape. It requires high skill levels, which, in turn affects the speed of reconstruction and limits the use of this technology. However, the thigh bone in a human, maintains its structural appearance, irrespective of heritage or size. This similarity facilitates use of various features of artificial intelligence for 3D image prediction. The reproductions using artificial intelligence will not require high skill levels as the difficult job can be executed by "Trained" computer programs. Such programs will not only be able to reconstruct bone images quickly, but it can also be used for prediction of structures in case of loss of continuity. This paper presents the current technologies used in medical imaging and proposes a method for integration of theories from artificial intelligence for rapid reproduction of the Femur.

There is a growing demand for states and companies to improve and reconstruct their economic and organizational structures for efficiency and competition in engineering. To create more workplaces in the Federal Republic of Germany, especially in the country Saxony-Anhalt, a need was identified to provide production plants with new products and new manufacturing technologies. The Experimental Factory was born and is located within reach of the universities in Magdeburg. Magdeburg, once one of the most important location of plant construction and heavy mechanical engineering has, because of recession in mechanical engineering in general and particularly because of the strong dependence on East-European market, lost its importance. Because of reorganization processes after the reunification in Germany extensive changes took place in the region of the industrial area Saxony-Anhalt. Big businesses divided up into many small companies with a size between 50 and 150 employees. Mostly in these businesses research and development resources and the necessary equity capital were not available, in order to realize the' necessary ln:~ novation impulse. Many of these enterprises are technological orientated supplier without own product responsibility. They have to face the increasing pressure of competition and because of that they must undertake many efforts concerning the optimisation of their products and their process development to keep their position in the competition.
