Guide to Additive Manufacturing for Medical

To get a beautifully designed electronic product safely delivered to your customer, the work must start at the product design phase. Leveraging simulation-driven design, manufacturers are gaining greater insight and control over the development of innovative products, consistent manufacturing processes, and cost-effective, sustainable packaging.

Manufacturers today are tasked with designing smart, connected products at a breakneck pace to stay ahead of the competition. As performance demands continually increase, packaging sizes become smaller, and device connectivity becomes more critical, schematic engineers and product designers need ways to make efficient design decisions and collaborate with one another to optimize complex interconnected mechanical and electromagnetic systems. To develop the next generation of smart products, organizations are turning simulation to improve device performance and drive profitability.

Any industry that produces bulk quantities of goods such as pharmaceuticals, food, chemicals, or cosmetics, is seeking to produce these products consistently while reducing cost factors like waste and down time. Due to the nature of process manufacturing, multiple ingredients are combined to be mixed, coated, or sorted, so understanding the behavior of these processes is of paramount importance for manufacturers. Through the use of simulation modeling and Smart Manufacturing principals, manufacturers are now able to optimize these processes, leading to greater productivity and profitability.

Urban air mobility (UAM) is a point of convergence for automotive and aviation organizations. This presents opportunities for collaboration between the industries, with air taxis being of particular interest. Intended to transport a few customers at a time, avoid congested streets over short distances, and reduce pollution, this category of aircraft is often envisioned as an electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) vehicle. Startups and established OEMs alike have begun moving past ideation and into the development stage for these next-generation aircrafts.

This guide walks you through the decision-making process of taking additive manufacturing to production, answering some of the most important questions related to taking additive manufacturing to production
