DESIGN EXCELLENCE FOR MEDICAL DEVICES
Confidence in complexity
Shorten delivery times for complex, custom-made products.
Orthopedic and dental devices are getting smaller, more connected and more intelligent, enabling users to live fuller lives with solutions customized to their needs.
But as devices get smaller and smarter, they also become more complex to design, engineer and manufacture. This can cause roadblocks that stifle innovation and delay time to market.
Increased complexity requires multidisciplinary teams to come together to solve challenges around every detail, from batteries to high-voltage wires and sensors.
A single software solution that spans design disciplines can transform the design process, helping to reduce time to market and costs.
Through simulation and use of a “digital twin”, engineers can test and tweak the finest details of a product with incredible accuracy based on real-world conditions. This means any issues can be resolved quickly without holding up development.
This approach has helped Unlimited Tomorrow to disrupt the pediatric prosthetics industry with TrueLimb, a lightweight, affordable prosthetic limb personalized for the user.
With all the data held in one place, the design can be easily tweaked, improved and scaled up without restarting the whole process. This alignment helps to reduce the cost of a typical prosthetic by 90% and enables the company to deliver the prosthetic five times faster.
