3D Simulation for the Medical Device Industry

Leverage simulation and 3D printing technology to analyze design performance before manufacturing.

There are multiple benefits of 3D simulation-driven design. This type of testing is a much more affordable option than physical testing and prioritizes patient safety. Utilizing simulations makes it easier to see what components on the device are functioning properly and what could use additional work before moving to final production. This level of analysis on the front end can also help determine how to improve a device's performance, streamlining production and creating a device that provides more value and safety for patients. 

The ability to make quick adjustments and changes as needed during the product development process can also reduce the time required to perfect the device. This not only decreases the time it takes the product to get to market, but it could also reduce total production costs.

Simulation Software Solutions

With the world's leading analysis tools, you can conduct tests confidently, receive real-time information, and make design decisions more efficiently. These tools can help medical device manufacturers enhance product performance, reduce reliance on physical prototypes, and foster innovation.

Additive Manufacturing Solutions

By integrating 3D printing throughout the design process – from concept to post-market – traditional manufacturing methods can be bypassed, saving both time and money while expediting the device’s launch to the market.
