Using additive manufacturing (AM) is now a serious consideration for medical device OEMs.
To address the changing requirements of component post-finishing processes, a closer collaboration between CAM and AM is needed.
Supplier of CNC tools and automation systems in North America, announced that Thomas Saur is set to retire at the end of the calendar year.
3D Systems agreed to sell its medical simulation business, Simbionix, to Surgical Science Sweden AB.
While some people think bridge-style machining centers are only for very large parts, these rigid, highly accurate CNC machine tools come in a range of sizes and configurations are good for parts of all sizes.
LIMS—the Low Investment Manufacturing System—is an unassuming little box consisting of a computer with proprietary Solution Engine software and an I/O hub that plugs into a standard outlet. When wired at the edge of a piece of production equipment, it becomes a simple solution for collecting and sharing complex sensor-derived data.
A new drill from Ceratizit improved hole quality and positioning in critical parts made by LaserWeld.
As additive manufacturing processes trend toward the standard of care for many conditions, health care organizations will be forced to confront two main challenges with establishing and/or scaling their programs, particularly as it relates to anatomical studies: image segmentation and printing time.
How evolving medical 3D industry registered products with the FDA under a low risk, Class I product code - HWT.
While it is typically up to the design engineers or the customer to specify the materials needed for a part, sometimes even materials within specs seem just a little more difficult to machine.
