Arquella Healthcare
Technologies Used: SLS & SLA 3D Printing
Industry: Healthcare
Project Purpose: Rapid Prototyping
Arquella utilised our 3D printing techniques to test, develop and create the hardware for their innovative nurse call system. Using Selective Laser Sintering & Stereolithography 3D technologies, we created the first physical prototype of the product.
Now AME-3D supports Arquella with the low volume production of the call system and accessories. Benefitting from our flexibility, Arquella can order on-demand, getting low volumes of parts produced whenever they need them. Saving time, money & storage space within their facilities.
Since its first 3D printed prototype was presented to UK nursing homes, there have been:
- Over 100 units installed, with further agreements for many more
- Bluetooth and non-location pendants launched to accompany call system
“Thanks to AME-3D's rapid prototyping services, our team could swiftly and efficiently bring the nurse call system AIDA Assist to market.
We benefit from AME-3D's know-how and experience in 3D printing and casting techniques. The team is very accommodating, and we plan to work with them for future product launches.”
