Developed in response to growth in demand for the company’s range of industrial 3D Printing services, the facility includes a specialist medical material 3D printing unit, where new designs of prototype medical and drug delivery devices can be made in a controlled environment.
“We have experienced a steady growth in demand for our rapid prototyping and 3D printing services over the last couple of years,” said Pringle. “The new dedicated medical material area for medical device prototyping is particularly exciting, because many of our clients are at the forefront of medical and drug delivery product design.”
The 2000ft2 suite more than doubles the overall size of the Prototype Projects facilities in Royston and combines an existing suite of high quality 3D printing machines with new capital investments. It also extends the range of services and capacity offered by Prototype Projects across four different specialist 3D printing technologies.
Heald said: “It was fascinating to see the work of this pioneering company and the new investment, which has greatly expanded its operations. I was delighted to open the new facility and wish them well.”
