SUMMARY:Medical Device Manufacturing with Lasers
DESCRIPTION:Introduction\nChair: Richard Carter\, Heriot-Watt University \n \nMedical device manufacturing is a market sector that embodies a fast rate of progress and a high degree of innovation. Many products and components for implantable products or delivery systems for surgery have been manufactured using laser material processing. Miniature components may be produced by laser cutting\, be made more bio-compatible with laser surface treatments\, assembled using laser welding and have traceability guaranteed with permanent laser marking. Also\, in the realm of prototyping\, additive manufacturing of metallic parts from powder using lasers enables a fast turnaround for testing and evaluating designs. \nAt Heriot-Watt University\, the Medical Device Manufacturing Centre (MDMC) is a joint facility with the universities of Edinburgh\, Glasgow and Robert Gordon (Aberdeen) which opened in 2020. The centre is equipped with a range of equipment including laser welding and marking\, 3D printing and laser marking as well as other complementary technologies. These state-of-the-art facilities are available to SMEs to facilitate innovative design and manufacturing enabled by cutting-edge technology. The industry-focused MDMC complements extensive academic-led research into medical devices at Heriot-Watt of value >£10M. \nThis workshop is presented in conjunction with Heriot-Watt University and is suitable for anyone with an interest in the research\, design and manufacturing of medical devices who would like to learn more about the technology and applications in this field. \n  \nProgramme\n13:15 – 13:25    Richard Carter (Heriot-Watt)\nWelcome & Introduction \nSession 1 – Sponsored by Coherent \n13:25 – 13:55    Marc Desmulliez (MDMC)\nIntroduction to the Medical Device Manufacturing Centre \n13:55 – 14:15    Roland Mayerhofer (Coherent)\nWhen precision matters most: laser fine welding and cutting in medical device manufacturing \n14:15 – 14:35    Jonathan Magee (ACSYS Lasertechnik)\nSurface structuring and black marking for medical devices \n14:35 – 14:45    Break \nSession 2 – Sponsored by Amplitude  \n14:45 – 15:05    Rob Eason (Highfield Diagnostics)\nLaser direct-write fabrication of paper-based microfluidic rapid diagnostic devices \n15:05 – 15:25     Calum Ross (Heriot Watt)\nUltrafast laser assisted etching: enabling miniaturised fibre-optic medical instrumentation \n15:25 – 15:45    Xavier Wolters  (Amplitude)\nAdvanced femtosecond lasers\, for medical device manufacturing \n15:45 – 15:55    Break \nSession 3 – Sponsored by Photonic Solutions & Light Conversion \n15:55 – 16:15    Bob Reuben (Intellipalp)\nManufacturing compliant tactile sensors for in vivo cancer assessment in soft tissue \n16:15 – 16:45    Ger O’Connor (NCLA (Galway))\nTowards Laser-enabled Manufacturing of a Cardiac Patch \n16:45 – 17:05    Simas Butkus (Light Conversion)\nMicromachining of medical device materials using bursts of femtosecond pulses
