Biomedical

The biomedical industry presents many challenges for engineers, including special requirements for innovative materials, rigorous dimensional tolerances, and product safety and reliability standards that cannot be compromised.

Advanced engineering skills, supported by the use of sophisticated simulation technology, are required for the design of medical devices. The engineering process emphasizes numerical simulation, or CAE, over physical “build-and-break” prototyping activities, because simulation is more efficient, saves time and reduces product development costs.  But manually iterating these virtual prototypes still requires a great deal of time and effort, and often does not lead to an optimal solution.

Red Cedar Technology’s automated design optimization tools provide the means to accelerate the design process while increasing the quality of the end result. Over the past decade, our HEEDS^® Professional design optimization software and consulting services have helped engineers in the biomedical industry to improve biomaterials modeling and human body model calibration, as well as to successfully discover optimized designs for orthopedic implants, vascular stents and surgical devices.
