Rapid Medical Device Prototyping: Get Medical Device Prototypes Quickly

3D Printing and Prototyping for Medical Devices

Rapid medical device prototyping is essential for any company wanting to create, improve, or bring a new product to market. 3D printing technology has advanced significantly in recent years, making it more accessible and affordable than ever before.

At Pathway NPI, we use only the latest in 3D printing technology to create high-quality prototypes for our clients. We understand that time is of the essence when it comes to developing new medical devices, which is why we offer rapid prototyping services that can help you get your product to market quickly and efficiently.

We are uniquely positioned to provide rapid 3D prototypes, even to startups and smaller medical device companies. In fact, we specialize in taking on early-stage products. Let us support you all the way from development through manufacturing. We take on the projects that some of our larger competitors choose not to do.

We understand your need for speed and fiscal responsibility. It is our job to provide these special services and build trust in our partnership.

The Key Benefits of Rapid Medical Device Prototyping

The key benefits of rapid prototyping include:

– Reduced development time and costs

– Increased accuracy and precision of prototypes

– Increased flexibility in design changes

Typically, a physical product or prototype can take months to develop. Don’t waste your time and money, or the time and money of your investors. Using modern technology and our expert engineers, prototypes can be created — many times, in days — not weeks and months. Let us help you facilitate a much more rapid time to market.

Turn Your Brilliant Idea Into Reality

Want to know if Pathway NPI can assist with your medical device prototypes? We’re often approached by companies looking to raise money quickly. They need to show something tangible to their investors, create a demo, or move forward with filing their patents. We offer rapid prototyping services for startups, small businesses, and midsized businesses alike.

If you have an idea for a new medical device, our team of engineers and designers can help you turn it into a reality. We’ll work with you to create a prototype that meets your specific requirements and needs. 

Not only that — we’ll work quickly. The typical rapid medical prototyping scenario results in a prototype within an average of three to six months. With your CAD drawings in hand, in many cases, we can create a three-dimensional prototype and have it back to you within days. It’s that simple!

Our Rapid Prototyping Services

CNC Machining 

CNC machining is a process in which raw materials are cut to create a variety of parts and products. The CNC machine reads the instructions from a computer file and cuts the material according to the specific dimensions.

This process is used to create prototypes, as well as final products. It is precise and can be completed quickly, making it ideal for rapid prototyping.

At Pathway NPI, we use state-of-the-art CNC machines to create prototypes and final products for our clients.

CNC machining services include:

• Mill work
• Precision-turned parts
• Precision machining

Our milling machines are capable of creating parts and products from a variety of materials. We can create prototypes and final products quickly and efficiently.

Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, is a process in which three-dimensional objects are created from a digital file. The object is created by adding layers of material until it is complete.

This process is often used to create prototypes because it is fast and efficient. It can be used to create parts and products from a variety of materials, including plastic, metal, and glass.

At Pathway NPI, we use state-of-the-art additive manufacturing machines to create prototypes and final products for our clients.

Additive manufacturing services include:

• Laser welding of steel and stainless steel parts (including micromechanical and instrument components)
• Direct-to-substrate printing
• 3D printing
• Large-scale FDM printing
• Semi-automated/Automated manufacturing fixturing and test fixturing
• Manual mill
• Manual lathe

Sheet and Tubing Fabrication

Sheet and tubing fabrication is a process in which raw materials are cut and formed into a variety of parts and products. The sheet and tubing are cut to the specific dimensions and then formed into the desired shape.

This process is used to create prototypes, as well as final products. It is precise and can be completed quickly, making it ideal for rapid prototyping.

At Pathway NPI, we use state-of-the-art sheet and tubing fabrication machines to create prototypes and final products for our clients.

Our sheet and tubing fabrication services include:

• Laser cutting
• Laser marking and etching
• Water jet cutting

No matter what stage you are in with your medical device prototyping, Pathway NPI is here to help. Bring your idea to us, and we will help you turn it into a reality. Schedule a consultation with us today to get started.
