Among the greatest advancements in rapid prototyping is that of desktop
3D printing. Objet Geometries, Billerica, MA, recently introduced
the Alaris, a desktop 3D printer that uses layered PolyJet Technology to
deliver high-quality, low-cost parts. Orchid Design, a division
of Orchid Orthopedic Solutions LLC, Holt, MI, an Orthopedic Product
Development firm focused on engineering and design, prototyping, and
quality and regulatory services uses 3D printing to help develop
products for orthopedic companies trying to get their products to market
fast. By bringing 3D prototyping technology in-house, Orchid Orthopedic
Solutions has been able to reduce its product development timelines by
up to 20 percent. Orchid’s Brian McLaughlin and Objet’s Neil Ranney
will discuss the technology and its capabilities during a Medical Design
webinar on Thursday, June 18, at 2 p.m.
