In-House 3D Printing Speeds Design & Testing in Medical Device Development

Case Study: 3D Printing Prototypes For Medical Device Development

With life-saving technologies on the line, 3D printing brings products to market quicker while cutting development costs.

Learn how medical device company Coalesce Product Development uses stereolithography (SLA) 3D printers to create prototypes that are ready for testing in days, not months. In this case study we learn:

  • The benefits of a digital manufacturing workflow for medical devices with complex geometries
  • How Coalesce replicates the characteristics of an injection molded plastic part
  • How in-house SLA 3D printing achieved an 80–90% reduction in lead time and a 96% reduction in cost

Ford Uses Large Format Printing to Reduce Costs and Lead Times

Ford Uses 3D Printing to Cut Costs and Lead Times

Learn how Ford Motor Company adopted the Large Format Bigrep One 3D Printer to reduce lead times, cut costs, and increase productivity during their design and manufacturing cycles. In this case study, you will learn how Ford leveraged 3D printing to:

  • Reduce lead time on traditionally manufactured parts by as much as 94%
  • Implement the use of long-lasting jigs and fixtures
  • Reduce turn around time with cost-effective prototyping
  • Ensure quality assurance for production components
