Rapid Prototyping

PROTOTYPE PARTS IN A DAY OR TWO

Norman Noble’s Rapid Prototype Lab combines dedicated engineering resources and advanced laser machining capabilities to accelerate medical device prototyping.

Norman Noble Rapid Prototypes of Medical Devices and Implants

RAPID DEVELOPMENT PROTOTYPING

Prototyping is a critical part of new product development for vascular and orthopedic implants. Norman Noble manufactures prototypes to support functional and verification testing, helping engineers evaluate designs and move efficiently to the next iteration. Our Rapid Prototype Lab combines advanced machining and finishing technologies with dedicated engineering resources to produce complex components from challenging materials and geometries. With rapid access to capabilities and materials, we help accelerate the path from design to prototype.

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: 1-2 days depending on circumstances.

We 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.
