In this Medical Product Outsourcing (MPO) article, Lindsay Mann of MTD Micro Molding discusses the importance of medical device companies finding a partner who can facilitate prototypes at the exact size necessary and in the right materials. In this Medtech Makers Q&A, Mann describes the options included in MTD’s Forerunner Prototyping Services – 3D printing, micro machining, and test tooling.
“This is a challenge we hear from our customers—there is a need for fast, cost-effective prototypes for their micro-sized design, and preferably in their material choice. When most OEMs think of prototypes, they think of 3D-printed parts. But often times, OEMs working on micro medical designs need more options to better suit their needs and goals. In response, we have developed multiple prototyping services and pathways to iterate and innovate quickly, and ultimately, get their product to market faster.”
