Current problems and solutions in medical device prototyping

Any technology will gradually appear some drawbacks with the development and progress of the times. When the prototype of a medical device was first successfully developed, it was still representative of new technologies. It freed people from busy labor and improved the efficiency and quality of model-making. However, there are currently some problems. So, what are the current issues in medical device prototyping technology? Let the RUIYI model use 30 years of experience to tell you how to solve it.

Existing problems:

1. The material utilization efficiency is not high

Traditional medical device prototype technology has a low utilization rate of raw materials. Compared with current 3D printing technology, there is a huge gap. 3D printing technology can use all raw materials without waste.

2. Large workload for processing complex parts

Medical device prototyping technology can only process prototype models of simple shapes, but it seems more than capable of internally complex models. If you want to make complex parts, you need to go through multiple molding processes, and you need to split the programming of each molding step, and the workload is very large.

3. The fixture design should be considered

When making a part model, you need to consider the design of the fixture, but many technologies do not need to consider the fixture when making the model.

After understanding the current problems in the production technology of medical device prototypes, we actively propose solutions based on these problems. Although the technology is getting newer and easier to use, if we want to make good use of the current technology, we must master the following points.

1. Plan the production process to increase the utilization rate of materials and improve work efficiency at the same time

Before we use the medical device prototype technology to produce the model, we must understand the processing content, according to the processing content, and arrange the installation surface and processing base surface reasonably, so that we can achieve a reasonable purchase of raw materials and improve the utilization rate of materials. While reducing waste, it also improves the production efficiency of medical device prototype processing technology.

2. Pay attention to the thermal deformation during multiple molding processes

When making complex parts, although it has to go through many molding techniques, to obtain exquisite parts, we must pay attention to the deformation due to heat during the processing, and we must be careful in the process of making and installing The size of the part.
