Medical Device Prototyping for the Twin Cities
Medical Alley's device makers move a design through reviews, verification builds and test fixtures long before anything is molded, and each stage needs parts in hand. We print the prototypes and the tooling around them, so a design review sees the latest revision rather than last month's.
What we print for medical device teams
Design-review prototypes
Housings and handpieces in smooth SLA resin that read like the finished product.
Functional prototypes
Snap-fits, living hinges and latches in nylon or PP that work like the real thing.
Test and verification fixtures
Fixtures that hold a device for drop, cycle or force testing.
Assembly aids
Nests and alignment tools for pilot builds before production tooling exists.
Materials for the job
What we do not do
These are prototypes, fixtures and design-review parts, not finished medical devices. We hold no ISO 13485 certification and make no biocompatibility claim for a printed part.
Tolerances: FDM ±0.2 mm typical; SLA ±0.1 mm, or ±0.2% above 100 mm. Production takes 2-5 business days.
