Material Mastery for 3D Printing Medical Devices: Choosing the Right Fit for Your Application

3D printing has revolutionized the world of medical device manufacturing, opening doors to unprecedented precision, customization, and design possibilities. However, the success of any 3D printed device heavily depends on choosing the right material for the application at hand. In this webinar, Formlabs’ Medical Engineer Shiden Yohannes explores the diverse materials available for 3D printing and their unique properties, guiding you to make informed choices for your specific needs. Equip yourself with the knowledge to optimize performance, safety, and compliance in your medical device projects.

During this webinar, we will briefly go over your responsibilities according to Medical Device Regulation (MDR) and how Formlabs can support you in this. For our UK customers, we will highlight some of the specifics to creating medical devices in the UK.

What you'll learn:

• Gain insight into the advantages of Formlabs' two 3D printing technologies: SLA (Stereolithography) and SLS (Selective Laser Sintering).
• Understand key considerations when selecting materials for specific applications.
• Delve deep into the extensive range of over 45 materials provided by Formlabs.
• Acquire knowledge on Europe's MDR and its implications for 3D printing in medical device manufacturing.
• Dive into Formlabs' commitment to biocompatible testing in line with ISO 10993 and USP protocols, and find out which materials are sterilizable and the specific methods applicable for each.
