What is Medical Device Prototyping?
Medical device prototyping is the process of creating functional samples based on a product's design and specifications for testing, evaluation, and business demonstration. These prototypes help manufacturers check the efficiency and feasibility of the design and determine if any changes are needed before the product is put into high-volume production and market distribution.
3D designs may seem ideal and revolutionary, but in reality, problems come to the fore when taken in hand. Through prototype testing, you can get quick feedback to ensure that the final product will meet medical requirements and safety standards.
