Rapid Prototyping

PROTOTYPE PARTS IN AS LITTLE AS 5 DAYS

Norman Noble has dedicated engineering resources and process development centers for producing rapid prototypes.

Norman Noble Rapid Prototypes of Medical Devices and Implants

RAPID DEVELOPMENT PROTOTYPING THROUGH FULL PROCESS DEVELOPMENT PROTOTYPING

Prototyping is a critical need for new product development of Vascular Implants and Orthopedic Implants. We offer prototype categories outlined to support each customer’s unique part testing needs and project timelines. Norman Noble integrates the newest machining equipment and finishing technologies to manufacture parts from the most challenging materials & geometries. We also have dedicated facilities to manufacture quick-turn prototypes, which allows our customers to complete functional or verification testing and move faster to the next design iteration.

FULLY COMPLIANT PROTOTYPING

  • Parts will meet all DWG specifications.
  • For laser machined parts: flat pattern DXF provided for programming before receipt of PO. Solid models are required for all turned or milled parts.
  • Delivery: 2-3 weeks depending on material availability and circumstances.

BEST EFFORT PROTOTYPING

  • Parts may NOT meet all drawing specifications (i.e. dimensionally, visually).
  • For laser machined parts: flat pattern DXF provided for programming before receipt of PO. Solid models are required for all turned or milled parts.
  • NNI supplied or customer supplied material.
  • Parts do get inspected and documented.
  • Delivery: 1-3 weeks depending on circumstances.

We also offer on-site rapid development prototyping which provides our customers the opportunity to visit our facilities and work with our engineering teams while we fabricate nitinol-based prototypes in a few days. This capability enables our customers to perform prototype testing quickly, helping them get next-generation implants to market fast.
