Medical Device Housing
Biocompatible SLA printed housing for medical device testing
October 2025
Nylon
Project Overview
A medical technology startup required functional prototypes of their device housing for testing and clinical trials. The parts needed to be strong, biocompatible, and accurately represent the final injection-molded product.
Manufacturing Approach
Stereolithography (SLA) with biocompatible resin was the ideal choice for this application. SLA produces highly detailed, smooth-surfaced parts with excellent dimensional accuracy, perfect for medical device prototypes requiring precise fit and finish.
Technical Specifications
- Material: Nylon 12 (biocompatible grade)
- Wall thickness: 2mm minimum
- Snap-fit features requiring flexibility
- Sterilization compatible
Outcome
Delivered 25 functional prototypes that performed flawlessly through testing protocols. The client successfully completed their testing phase.
