From Waveform to Form Factor: Designing Laser-Based Medical Devices Has an Aesthetic All Its Own

Lynn Savage, Features Editor, [email protected]

When is a medical device a useful piece of equipment, and when is it an art form, pleasing to the eye and to the touch? If made with a careful eye to the needs of clinicians and patients alike, it can be both. Innovative device design can be an individualistic or a collaborative effort, but it starts the same way each time: identifying a medical need for a new diagnostic or therapeutic approach to disease. All medical devices – but laser-based instruments in particular – are designed and manufactured with a very specific purpose in mind. From the point of view of the...Read full article

    additive manufacturing
    Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, is a manufacturing process that involves creating three-dimensional objects by adding material layer by layer. This is in contrast to traditional manufacturing methods, which often involve subtracting or forming materials to achieve the desired shape. In additive manufacturing, a digital model of the object is created using computer-aided design (CAD) software, and this digital model is then sliced into thin cross-sectional layers. The...
