Educational parts manufacturing possibilities
Prototyping is a significant part of the development of biological devices. Most biological products have to meet strict safety requirements, so it is important to iterate a variety of prototypes for R&D and testing in order to make a safe and functional end-use part. Different biological prototypes require different materials. Some metals and plastics are biocompatible, while others exhibit certain characteristics (toxicity, degradation, etc.) that make them unsafe for bodily interaction. We’re proud to offer all kinds of biological prototyping and parts manufacturing services to support your experiments and research.
