Micro Metal Manufacturing in MedTech: Smaller Parts, Fewer Assembly Steps
MedTech Unboxed: Presented by Chamfr
As MedTech devices get smaller, manufacturing gets more complicated. Tiny features can push teams toward multi-piece assemblies, added welding or bonding steps, tighter tolerance stacks, and costly design changes.
In this episode of MedTech Unboxed, Adam Steege, Founder and CEO of Trio Labs, shares how Resin Infused Powder Lithography (RIPL) gives engineers a new way to produce small, complex metal components.
Using an articulating device, he shows how thin walls can create more room for lumens, sensors, cables, and other functions within a small device profile. Adam also explains how textures, threads, welding features, and other details can be built directly into a component to reduce parts and simplify downstream assembly.
It's a practical look at how a digital manufacturing process can make engineering changes less disruptive and how the technology can help teams move from early prototypes through volume production faster.
