This blog explores in silico medical device drop testing VS traditional benchtop methods. Medical device design must address how a device is used and handled (e.g., handheld, benchtop, self-supporting, etc.).
This blog provides a context for designers to streamline their development process using 3D printed parts as a part of their market-ready medical devices. 3D printing is disruptive. It challenges the way that designers consider product development. Contrasted with traditional fabrication methods, 3D printing offers several benefits along with certain limitations. Regulatory agencies are providing […]
3D printing – or Additive Manufacturing (AM) – offers new and exciting ways to integrate parts not only for prototypes, but for final products. It presents novel ways of thinking about design, as new rules govern how parts are made.
From form studies to functional components at the early stages of prototyping to full production, the applications for 3D printed parts are growing rapidly. Parts designed in 3D modeling software can be transferred and quoted by a 3D printing company almost instantly. Many 3D printing companies return parts to the designer within 24 hours. This […]
