Abstract:
When prototyping for medical device production, rapid prototypes and 3D printing rarely produce the properties required for R&D testing purposes. Functional Prototyping for Rapid Production is an effective alternative that preserves rapid turnaround requirements while enabling you to test your product quickly and accurately. The session focuses on demonstrations through case studies and key takeaways for medical device engineers and equipment designers.

We will discuss:

• R&D
• Functional Prototyping
• Part and Mold Design
• Industrial Plastics Manufacturing

Intended audience: Medical device engineers & equipment designers
