2 Medical Devices Summit February 19-20, 2015 Entrepreneurship Focus Cost-Effective Solutions for Low to Medium Volume Manufacturing Why entrepreneurs need to know about Manufacturing You don’t make money selling hand-made prototypes Design decisions made early-on have cost ramifications later, and may be very difficult to change later Design decisions affect: End user cost Capital requirements Time to market hartwick@alum.mit.edu www.Endo-Lamina.shopwindowcorp.com

3 Medical Devices Summit February 19-20, 2015 Entrepreneurship Focus Cost-Effective Solutions for Low to Medium Volume Manufacturing HOW DO 3D-PRINTING AND RAPID PROTOTYPING FIT IN WITH OTHER MANUFACTURING PROCESSES? FORM IN WHICH RAW MATERIAL DELIVERED: Typical processes FIXED FORM: FIXED FORM: Machining metals and plastics from bar stock (minimal part-specific tooling, maximum flexibility) hartwick@alum.mit.edu www.Endo-Lamina.shopwindowcorp.com

FORM IN WHICH RAW MATERIAL DELIVERED: Typical processes FIXED FORM: FIXED FORM: Machining metals and plastics from bar stock (minimal tooling) UN-FORMED UN-FORMED : Casting, Powder metallurgy, Thermoset processing, Injection molding (tooling is significant) hartwick@alum.mit.edu www.Endo-Lamina.shopwindowcorp.com

5 Medical Devices Summit February 19-20, 2015 Entrepreneurship Focus Cost-Effective Solutions for Low to Medium Volume Manufacturing WHICH PROCESS IS BEST SUITED FOR PROTOTYPE QUANTITIES? FORM IN WHICH RAW MATERIAL DELIVERED: Typical processes FIXED FORM: FIXED FORM: Machining metals and plastics from bar stock (minimal tooling) UN-FORMED UN-FORMED: Casting, Powder metallurgy, thermoset consolidation, injection molding (tooling is a significant expense) PRE-FORMED: PRE-FORMED: Sheet metal:bending & stamping, Wire: spring winding & wire forms (minimal tooling, except for some stampings ) Endo-Lamina LLC
