WATCH ON DEMAND
Quality assurance (qualification) is critical to scaling and validating your additive manufacturing (AM) production, especially when it comes to highly-regulated industries like the medical field. Qualifying your part production, or in other words, proving the repeatability and standardization, is a challenging step to tackle. But the right partners can accelerate and even differentiate your product.
3DPX, an EOS contract manufacturer and leading polymer service provider, has the medical expertise to ensure customer success across several body-contact products including eyewear, intraoral, and surgical tools and guides. Together with Prime Path Medtech and EOS Additive Minds, 3DPX provides consultation and guidance to companies developing and qualifying AM parts. 3D-Side, a Belgium-based company focusing on patient-specific surgical instruments, partnered with 3DPX for a successful global expansion.
Register below to hear from EOS Business Development Manager Dr. Dave Krzeminski, 3DPX CEO Chris Martinez, Prime Path Medtech CEO Bill Jacqmein, and International Business Developer of 3D-Side Robin Verheyen as they share 3D-Side’s path to global AM production, as well as discuss the workflow and collaborations needed to bring your next AM application to life.
