Manufacturing 3D printed custom plastic medical machine model services
What is 3D printing?
3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is an emerging method of producing plastic parts quickly and efficiently. More and more applications using 3d printed parts are emerging and the benefits are being enjoyed by many customers around the world.
3D printing of parts and components is now common across a wide range of industries. This technology was once the preserve of highly specialized design engineers, but now it is rapidly becoming more accessible in many different industries such as automotive, construction, healthcare, retail, and heavy industry.
How the Medical Device Industry is Leveraging 3D Printing
Digital manufacturing offers the speed and precision required in medical component prototyping and production. Our diversete 3D Printing chnologies support customers in the medical industry by offering:
design for manufacturability (DFM) feedback on every quote
ability to 3D print small, complex, and intricate part geometry
capability to rapidly prototype in diverse production-grade materials (high-temperature plastics, thermoplastics, and elastomeric materials)
quality certifications: ISO 9001:2015
post-processing options such as heat treatment to improve mechanical properties
3D Printing Advantages
Able to mass produce a high volume of parts. Injection moulding can use a high number of molds at once, meaning that it is more cost-effective for producing a large number of objects
|
Enhanced strength of objects. Injection molded parts are created using a single layer of poured material, eliminating any fissures or other areas of weakness. This process also works for dense materials, such as concrete, that would need to be diluted or modified for 3D printing
|
Minimal wastage. Because injection moulding involves pouring material into a mold, it uses exactly the amount of material required for the design. This means this manufacturing method is ideal for mass producing objects cost-effectively

Whether you're in medical device manufacturing, medical device manufacturing, or healthcare manufacturing, our team is ready to bring you breakthrough medical devices, equipment, and tools that deliver precision and reliability.
Medical 3D printing materials need to have some characteristics:
Biocompatibility: Materials used to make products such as implants and internal medical devices must be biocompatible. This means that they must not react at all when in contact with biological systems. Biocompatibility is critical for implants, dentures, organ/bone replacements, pacemakers, and other medical products that come into contact with human tissue.
Sterilizability: The extremely high hygiene requirements of the medical industry make sterilization essential in most cases. This makes sterility an important characteristic of medical 3D printing materials.
Bioavailability: For the replacement of body parts such as prosthetics, dentures, implants and artificial organs, it is not enough for materials to be biocompatible. They also need to have physical properties similar to the original body parts.

Machining Step
| Description
|
Design Preparation | Create or optimize a 3D model using CAD software, ensuring it meets the specifications and requirements for printing.
|
Material Selection | Choose the appropriate material based on the application, such as plastic, metal, or resin, considering factors like strength, flexibility, and finish.
|
Printing Setup | Configure the 3D printer settings, including layer thickness, printing speed, and temperature, according to the material and design requirements.
|
3D Printing | The printer builds the part layer by layer according to the digital model, using the chosen material and printing technology (e.g., FDM, SLA, SLS).
|
Post-Processing | Clean and finish the printed part by removing support structures, sanding, polishing, or applying surface treatments to achieve the desired final appearance and functionality.
