Abstract:Medical device product development includes the validation of the end-product before mass production can commence. This validation should be completed with a device that is manufactured from the final material and with the final manufacturing process. For plastic medical devices, Rapid Tooling can be used to manufacture parts for clinical validations at a cost-effective price. Further tooling cost reductions can be achieved if Stereolithography (SLA) is utilized to create injection moulding tools. This article… Show more
