Case Study: Synaptive Medical Inc. achieves rapid BrightMatter neurosurgical product development with SolidWorks

Advancing Neurosurgical Systems Development With Solidworks Solutions

Synaptive Medical Inc., a Toronto-based medical device and technology company, set out to rapidly develop a complete suite of neurosurgical systems to improve surgical precision and patient outcomes. To meet this challenge it selected SolidWorks for its integrated, easy-to-use 3D design environment and large pool of trained users, implementing SOLIDWORKS Professional, SOLIDWORKS Premium, SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional, SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional, and SOLIDWORKS Composer.

Using SolidWorks, Synaptive developed and launched the BrightMatter suite (Plan, Guide, Vision, Drive, and Simulate) in just four years, grew its engineering staff from one to 100, and reduced prototyping cycles—saving time and money. SolidWorks Simulation Professional validated designs to IEC 60601 safety factors, SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional managed design data and revisions during rapid scaling, and SOLIDWORKS Composer automated documentation, delivering faster time-to-market and measurable operational efficiencies.
