STEMart, a US-based provider of comprehensive services for all phases of medical device development, proudly announces the launch of its new Medical Device Prototyping Services. Using the latest technologies, these reliable prototyping solutions can help medical device companies streamline the development process and test new products quickly and cost-effectively, saving time and resources.

Prototyping is the process of creating a primary version of a product for visualization and conceptualization. In general, prototypes fall into two main categories: functional and non-functional. Functional prototypes give people an idea of the basic form and function of a product. Non-functional prototypes are used to provide people with a non-digital representation of the product. In the case of medical device prototyping, a functional prototype is not a prototype that can be used in the marketplace because it is not the final product, but rather a functional example that can be used to develop a better version of the final product.

Prototyping plays a crucial role in the medical device development process. It produces functional samples based on precise design and material specifications for use in product testing and evaluation and commercial demonstrations. These samples allow manufacturers to perform engineering and design validation and determine if changes are needed before moving to mass production and commercial distribution. In addition, prototypes facilitate team alignment by providing a clear representation of the device concept, thereby improving collaboration.

Furthermore, although end-customers (e.g., physicians, nurses, and surgeons) cannot use the medical device prototype directly, they can physically interact with it, offering valuable feedback before significant resources are invested in full-scale production. Overall, prototyping contributes to successful medical device development.

With a commitment to innovation and excellence, STEMart offers reliable rapid prototyping solutions to meet the needs of the medical device industry. These prototyping services provide significant value in confirming the feasibility or attractiveness of an idea, comparing the functionality of different concepts, and eliminating costly mistakes early on, helping manufacturers streamline the development process, saving time and resources that may be wasted pursuing flawed concepts.

STEMart utilizes the latest technologies, including 3D printing (e.g., stereolithography and fused deposition modeling), computer numerical control (CNC) machining, screw and photochemical machining, photochemical machining, and reactive injection molding, to produce complete and reliable prototypes for medical device companies. With this high-fidelity demonstrator, manufacturers can put their ideas into practice and gather feedback, input, and validation.

STEMart offers a full range of services covering all stages of development to accelerate its clients’ medical device programs.
