How additive manufacturing is shaping medical device development
By David Spergel, applications specialist, Microsol Resources A
dditive manufacturing (AM) is becoming adopted in many fields, especially the medical field. It produces customized solutions using advanced
technology and developing methods to provide patients with better-personalized procedures. AM allows skilled professionals to record precise data about their clients to deliver top-shelf results using cutting- edge technology. Using advanced software systems like Autodesk, engineers can design and build intricate devices or products to replace non-effective materials to produce better outcomes.
The capabilities of engineers continually change and increase using a collection of impactful applications. Autodesk Product Design and Manufacturing Collection use reliable software systems to create digital models that test the effectiveness of a product’s design. Before it is worked with in the real world, medical workers have a chance to study it and gain experience while mistakes are accepted.
What is the manufacturing collection from Autodesk? ● Autodesk Product Design and Manufacturing Collection shows its customers the efficacy of additive manufacturing.
● Autodesk’s applications always stay up-to-date with the latest releases of software improvement, improving the compatibility and flow of the design.
● Product configuration is constantly improving its speed of project completion to deliver customized solutions quicker.
● Data is stored and accessed like a timeline, allowing the designer to backtrack and upgrade any part without interruption.

● Manufacturing of a product is acquired quickly without costly last-minute improvements.
● Products will be delivered to clients on time as all potential issues are configured early in development.
The importance of medical device development
The health field identifies medical devices as objects or technologies that keep people living longer. There is a performance phase of each medical device, showing its overall effectiveness.
A crucial part of its success begins with its initial design and development. The initial

blueprint and continual development of a device during its existence will advance medical abilities, positively impacting customers needing it. Before a specific medical device can hit the market after manufacturing, it must be tested through clinical use and deemed safe through regulatory processes.
What is additive manufacturing? Additive manufacturing (AM) is the action of constructing an object piece by piece or layer by layer. Manufacturing with this type of method requires technology to create from scratch rather than creating an object by cutting away from some solid material (subtractive manufacturing).
As technology advances, new techniques
become established. New methods help the efficiency and overall costs of manufacturing production. Today, additive manufacturing is often linked to the creation of objects by a 3-D printer. Advanced machinery is constantly improving over time to produce objects using faster, cleaner, and cheaper methods, all while reducing the need for human labour.
AM is an upcoming technology with room for improvement. The goal is to cut labour costs and lengthy timelines to benefit the customer.
