From Prototype to Production: Quality Considerations for Scaling Medical Manufacturing
August 26 10:15-11:00 a.m.
Moving a medical part beyond the prototype stage is not just a manufacturing decision—it’s a quality inflection point. As teams prepare for bridge production, they must begin thinking differently about critical-to-quality features, traceability, validation, inspection, and documentation. This session will cover how quality requirements evolve as medical programs scale, when to introduce more formal quality planning, and how to avoid overengineering too early. We’ll also explore the role of 3D printing and injection molding across the product lifecycle and share practical considerations for selecting a manufacturing partner that can support speed, flexibility, and production readiness.

DFM Best Practices for Medical Manufacturing - Expert Feedback and Live Project
August 26 2:00-3:00 p.m.
Join this practical workshop focused on Design for Manufacturability (DFM) best practices in medical manufacturing. We’ll review common design considerations, share actionable feedback strategies, and highlight ways to improve manufacturability early in the development process. The session will be followed by a hands-on workshop where participants can submit a current design, review DFM feedback in real time, and ask questions directly to experts. Attendees are encouraged to bring an active project or part design to get the most value from the interactive portion of the session.
