Design for Manufacture in Medical Device Development
About this Event
Translating medical research into real-world medical technologies requires more than scientific innovation. It requires an understanding of how a product will ultimately be manufactured, scaled, and delivered to clinicians and patients.
Join Te Tītoki Mataora | MedTech Research Translator for this one-day workshop on Design for Manufacture in medical device development.
About the workshop:
This workshop focuses on practical Design for Manufacture considerations across the medical device development lifecycle.
Key topics include:
- Understanding the medical device development pathway
- Designing prototypes and test systems for early experimentation and validation
- Selecting appropriate materials and manufacturing processes
- Simplifying product architecture and reducing assembly complexity
- Designing devices that can transition from prototype to pilot production
- Manufacturing strategy for clinical trials and early market entry
- Scaling products for reliable and efficient production
Participants will also be introduced to practical development tools commonly used in medical technology development, including:
- Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA)
- Design for Assembly, Maintenance and End of life principles
- Prototyping and manufacturing strategy planning
Who should attend this workshop?
This workshop is intended for researchers and innovators across Aotearoa New Zealand working on early-stage medical technology development.
This will particularly benefit teams working within:
- TRL 3–4 / RAP Stage II
Developing proof-of-concept technologies and early prototypes. - TRL 5–6 / RAP Stage III
Refining validated concepts and preparing for clinical testing and manufacturing scale-up.
