Rapid Prototyping in Medical Device Development Using Metal Additive Manufacturing
The medical industry thrives on innovation, precision, and reliability. Every new medical device or implant must undergo rigorous design, testing, and regulatory approvals before reaching patients. Traditional prototyping methods — including machining, casting, and molding — are often time-consuming, expensive, and limited in design flexibility. Metal additive manufacturing (AM), particularly Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF), […]
Regulatory Standards and Quality Assurance in Medical Additive Manufacturing
The medical industry is one of the most highly regulated sectors globally. Patient safety, product efficacy, and traceability are paramount, and metal additive manufacturing (AM) — particularly Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) — must meet strict standards to be viable for medical applications. At E-Metal3D, we combine advanced metal 3D printing capabilities with rigorous regulatory […]
Surface Finishing and Post-Processing for Medical 3D Printed Parts
In the medical industry, precision and quality are non-negotiable. Metal additive manufacturing (AM), particularly Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF), allows for intricate geometries and patient-specific designs. However, the as-printed parts often require surface finishing and post-processing to meet the rigorous standards of healthcare applications. Surface finishing and post-processing play a critical role in: Biocompatibility: Ensuring […]
Precision Engineering in Medical Metal 3D Printing
The medical industry demands unparalleled precision in manufacturing components that interface directly with the human body.
