Finding that CNC machines weren’t allowing for the quicker lead times that they needed, Shukla Medical turned to Markforged 3D printing. With the introduction of a carbon-fibre 3D printer and a Metal X system into their prototyping design process, Shukla Medical found themselves developing stiff parts, spliced with carbon fibre for their initial prototypes, eradicating the need for the use for third-party CNC machines, leading to the Metal X being used to print the final prototypes. Ultimately, finished products were able to be brought to market more quickly, hence reducing the long lead times which were proving such an issue previously. Since this change, Shukla Medical has found itself on the forefront of the industry, with prototyping being more efficient and accurate than ever, simply through the use of their Markforged carbon fibre and Metal X system. Zack Sweitzer, Product Development Manager at Shukla Medical says “we’re going to bring a lot more products to market faster with our Markforged printers, and we finally have the design freedom to do it.”
