DFM Best Practices for Medical Manufacturing Workshop
Bring your design. Leave with a clearer path to manufacturing.
#MEDeviceBoston
Close the Gap Between Design Intent and Manufacturing Reality
For engineers and product teams working on active medical device designs, the decisions made early in development determine how smooth or costly manufacturing becomes . This practical workshop, hosted by Protolabs, covers core Design for Manufacturability principles in medical manufacturing, then puts them to work. Bring an active project or part design and receive real-time expert feedback you can act on immediately.
