Medical Product Development and
New Product Concepts in Engineering Design
Our medical product development engineers rely on computer modeling simulation methods, and tools as critical components of the new product concepts design planning process. Medical device design, mechanical engineering, and finite element analysis (FEA) are techniques which we utilize when designing new product concepts.
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a computer-based numerical technique for calculating the strength and behavior of engineering structures in medical product development. Finite Element Analysis can be used to calculate stresses, deflection, vibration, buckling and several other phenomena. FEA will analyze both small and large-scale deflection under applied load or displacement. In addition, it can examine elastic deformation, or plastic part designs.
Product dependability deliberation has been perceived to be more of an addendum in the development of numerous new medical device designs. When it comes to reliability activities many medical device engineering companies' perform this task primarily to satisfy internal procedures. When reliability is seriously and actively considered in developing and designing new product concepts in the early stages of new product concept development, productivity and efficiency are dramatically improved. Early in the design stage ProengineerPortal uses computer-aided engineering (CAE) analysis and simulation tools. By using these simulation tools, the products reliability dramatically increases, this also leads to a shorter time to build and test a physical Prototype. Engineering firms save a significant amount of resources in the form of labor and manufacturing costs as a result of these proactive strategies.
Why our Product Development Engineers use FEA Software
Our medical product development engineers use finite element analysis software because it reduces time to market, improves new product concepts development designs, and lowers development costs. By incorporating finite element analysis software, our product development engineers make reliable products right the first time. The savings in resources such as labor, manufacturing parts and so on is significant. When mistakes are not made and the new product’s reliability increases, the medical product development time is shortened and the ability for the product line to penetrate the market more rapidly goes up. Ultimately, this increases the “bottom line” which is what business ventures strive for.
