The Strategic Role of Research at MDE
For MDE, research is not a department, but a corporate philosophy. Every project originates from a scientific question and evolves into a scalable technology for biomedical production. The R&D division integrates expertise in polymeric compounding, micro-extrusion, and additive manufacturing, along with metrological validation and functional testing. This approach reduces industrialization times and ensures compliance with ISO 13485 and MDR 2017/745 regulations.
Research and Development Areas
R&D activities cover multiple areas of biomedical engineering, with a focus on sustainability, performance, and clinical safety. Main research lines:
Every innovation is tested internally to evaluate its reproducibility and industrial applicability.
Scientific Collaborations and Partnerships
MDE collaborates with Italian and European universities and research centers for applied research projects and technology transfer. Academic partnerships allow the transformation of scientific results into concrete industrial solutions.
“Universities help us look beyond the boundaries of the possible. We make what research imagines possible.” — MDE Srl R&D Management
Among the most recent collaborations:
Research Laboratories and Technologies
The MDE R&D laboratory is equipped with the latest generation of instruments for testing, analysis, and prototyping. Main equipment:
All tests are performed in controlled ISO 7 and ISO 8 environments, with digital recording of parameters.

From Laboratory to Production
Every innovation is directly transferred to the design and production departments. This integrated flow between R&D, Design, and Cleanroom allows for reduced waste, optimized costs, and consistency between experimental study and final product. Validation tests (IQ/OQ/PQ) ensure that every device meets clinical and regulatory specifications.
Sustainable Innovation
MDE promotes responsible and sustainable research. R&D activities aim to reduce environmental impact through:
Innovation is not just technology: it is a commitment to a safer and more sustainable future for global health.
In summary
Research & Development is the beating heart of MDE. From idea to clinical validation, every phase follows a scientific, transparent, and certified method. For us, innovating means combining science, engineering, and responsibility.
