Case Study: Gyrus ACMI halves time-to-market for the PlasmaKnife with 3D Systems On Demand Manufacturing

Gyrus AMCI Reduces Medical Tool Production Times with On Demand Manufacturing

Gyrus ACMI, a leader in minimally invasive “See” and “Treat” surgical solutions, needed to accelerate the PlasmaKnife — a tonsillectomy tool — from prototype to production, cutting lead times from eight weeks to three to meet market timing and product-launch demands.

3D Systems’ On Demand Manufacturing (Quickparts) served as a single-source solution, providing instant QuickQuote pricing for SLA, FDM, CNC machining and rapid injection molding, plus design-for-manufacturability feedback and dedicated project managers. The integrated approach cut time to market by about 50%, delivering parts faster and reliably and allowing Gyrus ACMI to meet its aggressive schedule.
