Medical – The Additive Manufacturing Institute

Medical Product Development

Additive Manufacturing’s growth in the medical sector has increased the need for specialists in this field that understand the manufacturing process as well as the design requirements for each process. Creative Problem-solving is a key part of our process as well as establishing a good communication between medical specialists and manufacturers, getting to a final working solution quickly.

Consulting for both Human and Animal medical fields, collaborating with Doctors, Surgeons, Prosthetist Orthotist’s and other specialists to help develop new and innovative products and services that include implants, medical devices, assistive devices, tools, consumables, prosthetics and orthotics, and aftercare products.

Communication is key, and our approach includes attending surgeries, observing not just the process, but the environment, the ergonomics of the process to determine the best possible solution weather it is to design an implant, add the tools that go with it, or simply to help streamline the process using Additive Manufacturing

Our Services Include:

Concept Development

Concept Sketches exploring ideas, design variations, technical features, functions and applications

Product Design

Design Development, starting with the initial concepts, developing it into a feasible final product.

CAD Modelling

3D Modelling in various stages of the design process to help define the concept in 3D, create working models for digital testing, files that can be 3D printed for prototyping and testing, as well as the final design for rendering and manufacturing.

Prototyping

Using a variety of technologies, materials and processes to produce physical parts that can be assembled and tested, this can include pre operative Models
