Rapid Prototyping

Viewing ALL listings in Rapid Prototyping

Even though the medical device manufacturing and approval process is generally lengthy, contract manufacturers use rapid prototyping technology to trim hours and days off the process for many components, bringing medical devices to the market as quickly as possible. Rapid prototyping can mean several hours or several days, depending on the size and complexity of the project, but this process saves time versus the weeks and months that production manufacturing generally involves. Stereolithography (SLA), selective laser sintering (SLS), fused deposition modeling (FDM), laminated object manufacturing (LOM), and electron beam melting (EBM) are some of the technologies used to either melt and soften materials to create layers (FDM, SLS) or to build them up with thermosets that are cured to create the final product. Regardless of the process, rapid prototyping medical devices starts with designs from computer aided design (CAD) files, which break down 3D models row by row into successive layers. Production quality parts can also be manufactured through these processes if the number of parts is relatively small.
