Case Study: Micro 3D Printing for a New Disposable Medical Device
This report, “Micro 3D printing for Disposable Medical Devices,” explains how designers and engineers at RNDR Medical developed a novel, single-use scope for endourology that will soon be launched. The device provides direct visualization and navigation to enable diagnosis and treatment of disorders in the urinary tract, and micro 3D printing proved a cost-effective alternative to micro molding for a critical component, the distal tip. This part houses the camera chip and illumination source as well as directing the device’s fluid path and more – all within a 0.130-inch (3.3-millimeter) diameter profile.
