In recent years, 3D has also become a reality in modern high tech. How do designers and engineers in medical device technology use this new design freedom of three-dimensionality?
Today, medical devices are a major focus of mechatronics. One of its breakthrough innovations are Mechatronic Integrated Devices (3D-MID). It is a technology that enables higher-density integration of electronic components into the smallest possible space. Regarding miniaturisation, the ideal partner is the leading 3D-MID supplier HARTING.
3D-MID or 3D-Circuits has the potential to change the medical industry as we know it. As medical devices including hearing aids and dental instruments become smaller, the manufacture of their most important elements – conventionally PCBs with wires and other electrical parts, needs far more delicacy and precision.
The company's 3D-Circuits technology enables it to combine mechanical and electronic functions into a single component to fit into the tiniest spaces.
The electronic circuit may be built into the device, making it more compact and functionally dense. The number of process steps, assembly times, and parts can be drastically cut down by using injection-moulded circuit boards.
3D-MID technology has become incredibly useful in many industries, particularly in medical devices, where it drives miniaturisation.
