Design automation for personalized medical devices


nTop helps engineers automate the design of patient-specific devices for applications like orthopedic implants, plastic and reconstructive surgery, prostheses, orthoses, respiratory care, neurosurgery, and cranioplasty.

Save time by having one engineer set up a workflow that the rest of the team can use indefinitely. This prevents senior engineers from spending unnecessary hours on repetitive tasks. Automation also prevents errors, improves design quality, and enables mass customization. Users with minimal programming skills can simply input patient data to automatically generate a personalized device.


Case Study

SI-BONE automated the design of a product family with 70+ unique parts.

Key results:

88% less design time

90% reduced operational costs

Background:

SI-BONE is a leader in minimally invasive joint surgery. They created a design workflow that defined all the technical parameters of their design, and they needed an efficient way to apply it to their whole range of orthopedic devices. Manual data processing would consume valuable engineering hours and be prone to errors.

Solution:

To free up engineering hours, the team turned to nTop Automate. After creating a single design workflow, they batch-processed their lattice design. Then, with a simple script, they applied the new lattice design to the whole product family in just under six hours.

This repeatable process enabled the team to create design workflows that are traceable and easy to maintain and saved thousands of dollars in operational costs for their business.
