Lab Bench Sized Vascular Graft Manufacturing Machine
Challenge
Our client was a local university that was having trouble with the extremely time consuming and inconsistent process they were using to manufacture a novel type of vascular graft by hand.
INDUSTRY
Medical
SERVICES USED
Design For Manufacturing (DFM), mechanical design, prototyping building, concept renders, 3D Printing, Design for Additive Manufacturing (DFAM)
Solution
MXV was able to design for them and prototype a benchtop sized machine that could automate the process they were doing by hand and get more consistent quality and faster production. Our solution helped these researchers spend more time on their research and start testing it sooner. Our solution used common motors and microcontrollers as well as sonic exciters to make this prototype machine within the client’s tight budget.
