From Napkin Sketch to Reality... Your Path to the Creation of a Medical Device
The digital age has removed many barriers to device design and has enabled one to go from idea to genesis rapidly and cost-effectively. This lecture will illustrate how one can advance an idea into a tangible device. I will demonstrate how one can articulate a medical device into a sketch, convert this sketch to a three-dimensional design, and from this design to a functional prototype. From this presentation, you will be able to progress your next multimillion-dollar idea from a napkin sketch.
