It’s best to be sure you understand the defensible, fact-based market need for your great idea before investing significantly in an intuitive belief of its potential.
A survey of about 200 medical device professionals examined how challenging it can be to balance innovative product design with compliance and risk management; the survey also looked at time-hungry tasks, technological advancement, and design methodologies.
As more stakeholders become involved with automation, AI, and general data management in healthcare applications, the move toward a combination of all three aspects will create healthcare solutions equivalent to sci-fi aspirations.
Thanks to the huge culture surrounding comic books and Japanese manga, a rich body of work has emerged investigating the comprehension of visual narratives. Here, we explain how some of the cognitive principles and theories resulting from this research can be straightforwardly applied to QRGs.
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.
Donatelle’s rapid tooling and prototyping services help accelerate the design process and bring critical medical device products to market – faster. With an experienced team of engineers, mold designers, machinists, and toolmakers, they are able to produce near-net shape parts with near production tolerances, machined or molded, in as little as a few days.
KMC Systems offers decades of experience in solving complex medical engineering and design challenges, and in considering innovative, highly-automated solutions for the development of full-system instrumentation. KMC Systems engineers work collaboratively with customers to achieve optimal interdisciplinary solutions to laboratory automation challenges, Design for Manufacturability and Serviceability (DFM and DFS) challenges, and medical device verification and validation.
Laser beam profilers are the optimal solutions for increasing chances of success in the design or applications of new lasers, or when a laser system is no longer meeting the desired specifications. Ophir Photonics offers a wide range of beam profiler choices including CCD and CMOS cameras, scanning slit sensors, InGaAs and pyroelectric cameras, and pinhole and knife edge sensors.
Proto Labs is proud to introduce PolyJet technology to their 3D printing capabilities. PolyJet technology is used to provide designers and engineers with the ability to manufacture elastomeric and overmolded prototypes without investing in tooling. This technology can create 3D-printed parts comprising both elastomeric and rigid materials, as well as multiple colors.
First Sensor offers rugged, compact cameras designed to withstand the toughest conditions, such as extreme heat, cold, or permanent vibrations. Each camera features a modular design with different interfaces and data formats for simple integration.
Inspect digital artwork files and proofs pixel by pixel to an approved file to check for errors.
