A ShapeWays Case Study
Voytek Medical develops products that secure patient cables to bedside monitors and roll stands without voiding warranties or modifying equipment. As a startup, Voytek needed a manufacturing solution that would let them iterate designs, test the market, and avoid the high upfront cost of injection molding, while still producing quality parts for healthcare use. They used Shapeways 3D manufacturing and versatile plastic for their products.
Shapeways provided Voytek with a cost-effective production method that supported design changes, faster batch fulfillment, and consistent part quality beyond what desktop 3D printing could offer. The parts withstood hospital cleaning chemicals and regular staff use, and Voytek reported no returns due to manufacturer defects across 300+ units sold over six months. Shapeways also delivered timely turnaround and strong customer service, helping Voytek grow at a manageable pace.
