I love “old school” hardware stores. My best Saturdays, when I’m not out fishing in my little boat, are spent with a pencil behind my ear and a home improvement project to conquer.
HFE testing, as a professional discipline, has not taken advantage of a wide range of advanced and well-understood physiological, biomechanical, cognitive, and emotional sensing and testing modalities.
The questions for manufacturers are, how many hurdles will they need to overcome to ensure compliance, and will the new regulations lead to some legacy products no longer entering the market?
I spent the first two decades of my medical device career with startups and larger OEMs, working with or hiring consultants, as needed, for support. I then became a consultant for seven years, and I saw outsourced support from the other side. Now, I want to share some perspective on outsourced support. These important relationships can make or break your business.
Advances in sensors, smartphones, communications, and analytics give developers new tools to build creative and powerful applications that promise to improve health outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.
As component sizes for medical devices shrink to micron size, conventional machining may not be the most efficient or consistent method for manufacturing. Learn why Micro-MIM is preferred for components with tight tolerances at high volumes.
Sustaining engineering enables the developer to plan ahead, getting the development and design of the device done right the first time, and smoothing the transition to manufacturing. KMC's executive director of engineering, Scott Leon, weighs in on the subject.
The business pain of switching suppliers, both in terms of costs and revalidation time, heightens the importance of making the right decision the first time.
Micromolding requires a high level of intimacy and attention to detail to be successful over the long run, so it’s important to work with micromolder with the capability, scalability, and sustainability to get a product from the design stage all the way to high-quality mass production.
Canon’s coreless motors are part of the family of dc-motor products that are custom manufactured to achieve the exact speed, power, and currents required for OEM applications.
