Rapid Prototyping and Additive Manufacturing

Rapid Prototyping

and Additive Manufacturing

MDE Srl uses 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing to accelerate the development of medical devices.
We offer Rapid Prototyping services for functional and pre-clinical testing,
as well as the production of tight-tolerance micro-components, all in compliance with ISO 13485 procedures.

Accelerate Research and Development

3D Printing allows for the rapid and low-cost creation of complex geometries. This is crucial for the R&D division, enabling immediate verification of CAD models and design optimization before industrialization. MDE’s digital prototyping process significantly reduces the device’s Time-to-Market.

Specific Technologies and Materials

We select the most suitable 3D Printing technology based on the required material, resolution, and final application (prototyping, pre-clinical testing, production of tooling components).

  • SLA (Stereolithography): for high resolution models with excellent surface finish.

  • SLS (Selective Laser Sintering): for functional parts in nylon or reinforced materials.

  • Materials: Bio-compatible resins, Medical-grade polymers, Metals (e.g. AISI 316L, titanium, aluminum, Nylon, various types of bio-resins, Silicone).

3D Printing for Tooling and Equipment

3D Printing is used not only for prototypes but also for the rapid creation of process equipment (tooling), jigs and fixtures, and custom molds for cleanroom and extrusion production. This approach reduces tooling costs and improves production efficiency.

  • Improved Production Efficiency
  • Custom Tooling and Molds
  • Rapid Supply
