Technical PapersIn order to give adequate support to organisations who plan to (or already do) use FDM Rapid Manufacturing models for making medical implantable parts, it was decided to provide a document which can be used as a best practice guide.
Being able to obtain prototype parts quickly to test for component fit and function canhelp get your product to market faster than your competition. Adjustments in design,materials, size, shape, assembly, color, manufacturability and strength can be madefollowing the results of your testing and analysis.
Consistent and accurate digital design review in your digital manufacturing processes is keyto achieving the productivity, efficiency and profitability benefits that have been promised by3D CAD vendors.
