We prototype to learn, but also to communicate ideas and concepts. While undoubtedly 3D printing is an exceedingly useful tool, there are a number of low fidelity prototyping methods that can help launch a successful product. As medical device developers, we are often faced with making design decisions under tight budgetary constraints. Prototyping medical devices should […]

Anodizing creates a durable coating that can be a great coating for medical device parts. If aesthetics matter, it’s important not to think of anodizing in isolation, but also consider the inputs into anodizing.
Are we done yet? It’s a simple enough question. But the answers, like most questions, aren’t as easy. What is often missed in the translation is that there are varying degrees of done. In taking a medical device idea from concept through to manufacture there are a few ‘done’s along the way, and that takes time […]
