Course overview

The global market for medical devices and equipment is estimated to have been worth $739.6 billion in 2023. It is a thriving industry which is expected to grow at compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.8% from 2024 through 2029 from $810.4 billion in 2024 to $1.3 trillion. With the advent of the fourth industrial revolution, Additive manufacturing is now an integral part of medical device development globally for an efficient manufacturing process.

Medical device development is a process which needs understanding of both engineering and manufacturing, along with clinical expertise for taking research to the bedside. It is one of the most expensive, regulated and time-consuming areas, with strict guidelines in terms of quality management systems for quality and safe patient care, which leads to further delays in the commercialisation of a product. Additive manufacturing is one of the key processes in the lifecycle of development of medical devices. It can substantially reduce the completion time and cost along with addition of intricate design parameters to a device development.

This course covers the background of additive manufacturing, its processes and technologies, and its importance in the life cycle of a medical device. This course will also include the additively manufactured devices, and other areas where the innovative application of additive manufacturing will help in quicker and cost-effective development of a device for commercialisation.

This course is part of our range of Medical Devices training courses - now also including Medical Devices Cyber Security training to help improve your data security.

Ruchi Pathak

Dr Ruchi Pathak Kaul is a TEDx Speaker and consultant to the Surgical Innovation Lab at All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, where she runs the 3D printing lab and conducts research on medical devices developed using 3D printing technology. She bridges the gap between technology and medicine, bringing clinicians closer to technology and helping them incorporate 3D printing in their surgical practices. She is actively involved in the development of various medical devices at the premiere institute of India. Ruchi is also an honorary lecturer at University College London, where she is involved in global research on rehabilitation care using emerging technologies.

Ruchi has clinical and research experience of more than 15+ years, with her research in mid-face reconstruction using 3D printed patient-specific Implants. She has also worked on optimisation of spinal guides for cadaveric surgeries at University College London, UK. She has been actively involved in conducting a patient-public engagement for the development of spinal guides for patients of scoliosis. Ruchi is a qualified maxillofacial surgeon and has authored several scientific articles, chapters and books in scientific literature. Her passion lies in conducting translational research by bridging the gap between technology and its benefits for common man.
