Founder and RISD alum Sloan Kulper MID 06 created "Alfonso," the first realistic software model of bone tissue. It's used by orthopedic implant manufacturers to design safer and more effective devices that result in fewer post-surgical failures in elderly patients with osteoporosis. Kulper reflected on his work by saying: "My time at RISD sharpened up my skills and my focus as far as being able to dig into a problem and apply a design process that keeps track of all of the different stakeholders and questions. It sharpened up my ability to make a design actually connect to all of those different factors."
