SolidWorks 2010 Medical Devices industry solution

Medical Devices industry solution

To succeed in today’s medical device manufacturing industry, product designers must not only create innovative medical products but also navigate an increasingly challenging regulatory environment. SolidWorks is a powerful 3D CAD application that allows designers of medical devices to easily produce documentation, comply with regulatory requirements and test and simulate concepts.

Why are medical device manufacturers using SolidWorks?

• Because its integrated software prototyping and comprehensive design management capabilities facilitates the maintenance of design history files in accordance with regulatory requirements.


• Because it accelerates validation of innovative design concepts and automates design documentation, providing you with the flexibility and agility you need to comply with regulatory requirements.


• Because it can reduce build-and-test cycles by quickly analyzing the performance of many design concepts in software, then separating out the viable concepts for further testing, trials, and development.


• Because ScanTo3D allows a medical designer to capture physical concept models, existing OEM parts, or anatomical objects and use these scanned renditions to build software models and variations of existing products.


• Because it can allow you to capture assembly motion and demonstrate how the moving parts of the medical device operate.


• A large proportion of the content of a typical medical device consists of purchased components. The SolidWorks Design Library removes the need to design a wide range of commonly used parts.


• With SolidWorks Simulation, you can determine the stress, strain, deformed shape, and displacement of components under operation – this allows you to identify and address problems quickly and inexpensively.


• With SolidWorks Routing, you can import electronic design automation (EDA) data to determine the number and size of wires and cables.


• The SolidWorks Print3D web portal gives you immediate access to the most effective rapid prototyping technologies in the industry.

Here are some medical device designers and manufacturers benefitting from their use of SolidWorks:

Oval Medical

Oval was born out of the belief that a novel primary drug containment technology could revolutionise the autoinjector market, and provide radical improvements in the safety, acceptability and reliability of needle-based self-administration.
