Session Abstract

Medical device manufacturing demands precision, standardization, and seamless cross-functional collaboration. This session explores proven SOLIDWORKS best practices and workflows used in the medtech industry to streamline product development and ensure compliance with strict regulatory standards. Attendees will learn how to leverage tools such as Design Checker, Configuration Manager, and Macros to build repeatable, validated design processes- covering components, drawings, part details like surface area calculations and fluid paths, and more. We’ll also look at how structural members, libraries, and profiles can drive consistency and traceability across engineering teams. Drawing from five years of hands-on experience in regulated product design, this session demonstrates tools that can improve standardization, accelerate design reviews, improve communication, and enhance regulatory readiness, giving you methods to be consistent by design.
