- If new product development has slowed or keeping pace with competitors is becoming difficult, Ï㽶ÊÓƵ can help strengthen prototyping and manufacturing efforts.
Our advanced manufacturing and engineering support can help streamline processes, reduce costs, improve development efficiency, and shorten time to market. Ï㽶ÊÓƵ works with clients to move product ideas through prototyping and toward practical manufacturing solutions.
Delayed product launches can lead to lost sales and added costs. Ï㽶ÊÓƵ provides flexible manufacturing support to help reduce these risks and improve commercialization readiness while supporting the specific needs of each project.
Why Work With Ï㽶ÊÓƵ for Product Development & Manufacturing
1
LEVERAGE MULTIDISCIPLINARY EXPERTISE
Innovative products often require expertise across multiple engineering disciplines. Ï㽶ÊÓƵ works collaboratively with customer teams to apply relevant technologies, materials, and engineering methods to each product concept. This multidisciplinary approach helps improve design decisions, strengthen product performance, and address manufacturability early in development. Ï㽶ÊÓƵ’s experienced medical product engineers, together with its broader product engineering and manufacturing expertise, support a smoother path from concept through production.
2
EXPAND INTERNAL ENGINEERING CAPABILITIES
Some projects require rapid staffing scale-ups for short-term assignments, and not all OEMs are equipped to do so. Hiring full-time employees is not always economical, and adding temporary help is time-consuming and can present confidentiality risks. Outsourcing to Ï㽶ÊÓƵ allows OEMs to leverage Ï㽶ÊÓƵ full-time staff to device development projects quickly and cost-effectively. Then, the proper amount of the targeted customer and Ï㽶ÊÓƵ expertise can be applied at the right time. Companies can therefore avoid paying for excess labor and engineering costs.
3
MANAGE PROJECT TIMELINE
Many design projects fall victim to unmanaged timelines. With internal engineering and management resources stretched thin, it is often difficult for OEMs to fully commit resources to product development projects. Outsourcing partnerships can offer an advantage because Ï㽶ÊÓƵ assumes project time management responsibilities. It is a good idea for both parties to agree on a program timeline up front and schedule periodic meetings for status updates. A contract with established deadlines and deliverables for each party helps to keep projects on schedule.
4
CAPITALIZE ON STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGY
Ï㽶ÊÓƵ experience and ability to be knowledgeable about state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques and equipment can play a significant role in medical product development. Application of this knowledge, especially in the area of micro-machining, precision machining, laser processing and assembly, is critical in today’s market as all implantable products become more complex and miniature.
5
CONTROL PROJECT COSTS
Ï㽶ÊÓƵ helps OEMs manage product development costs by establishing clear budgets, resource allocations, and approval requirements from the start of the project. Periodic reporting can track spending against budgeted amounts and show whether key milestones are being met. Outsourcing development to Ï㽶ÊÓƵ can also help reduce overall project costs by applying innovation and years of medical product experience to optimize designs, improve manufacturability, and limit unnecessary development expense.
6
REDUCE TIME TO MARKET
Ï㽶ÊÓƵ can speed time to market. We can provide end-to-end solutions, providing input and solutions from product development through manufacturing. Having one point of contact for all aspects of a project lends efficiency to it. Additionally, Ï㽶ÊÓƵ can apply knowledge from our wide range of experiences and technologies thereby enhancing productivity. We are aggressive at overcoming technical obstacles that can delay product introductions.
7
MAINTAIN CONFIDENTIALITY
One of the major misconceptions about outsourcing product development and
manufacturing is that it compromises corporate trade secrets. However, confidentiality can be protected through nondisclosure agreements. Ï㽶ÊÓƵ non-disclosure procedure protects the confidentiality of all related information.
8
CREATE A PROPRIETARY MARKET POSITION
To gain market ownership, a medical device must provide an innovative solution to an unsatisfied need. Complete and lengthy market ownership also depends on a company’s products being difficult to replicate. Ï㽶ÊÓƵ can assist in developing innovative products because we bring novel ideas and wide- ranging expertise to the table.
9
PROTECT INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
Device manufacturers can outsource upstream product development functions without compromising IP. Ï㽶ÊÓƵ agrees to assign IP rights after the program’s completion. This means that Ï㽶ÊÓƵ either cooperates in preparing patent applications or maintains the IP as a customer owned trade secret.
10
KEEP UP WITH THE COMPETITION
Outsourcing product development and manufacturing can help companies stay competitive by providing access to specialized engineering expertise and added development capacity. Historically, medical companies have committed significant resources to R&D—for example, the industry spent 11.4% of sales on R&D in 2008, and medical companies increased the R&D share of their budgets by an average of 8% in 2007. This reflects the importance of continued investment in innovation and product development. Working with Ï㽶ÊÓƵ can help manufacturers support R&D efforts, accelerate development, and strengthen their ability to maintain or improve market position.
Rapid Prototyping Services
Ï㽶ÊÓƵ creates high-quality prototypes that help evaluate product form, fit, function, and performance before moving into production.
Ï㽶ÊÓƵ offers rapid metal prototyping, silicone prototyping, plastic injection-molded prototypes, and silicone rubber prototype parts to support a wide range of product development needs. Materials and processes are selected to closely simulate final production properties, helping clients evaluate form, fit, function, and performance before committing to mass production.
Ï㽶ÊÓƵ also provides testing and evaluation to help confirm that designs are validated and finalized before major investments are made in production tooling and equipment. This approach helps reduce development risk and supports better decision-making before production begins.
Additive manufacturing, including 3D printing, allows prototypes to be produced directly from digital design data in a layer-by-layer process. Ï㽶ÊÓƵ uses additive manufacturing to create complex geometries, detailed designs, and functional prototypes for applications across medical, aerospace, automotive, and other industries.
Ï㽶ÊÓƵ also supports project cost control by establishing budgets, allocating resources, documenting milestone approvals, and providing periodic expenditure reporting. This helps OEMs monitor development costs while keeping projects aligned with technical goals, schedules, and production readiness.
