Abstract

Recently the home-use segment of medical devices has entered in the loop of Additive Manufacturing (AM) enabled optimizations, this includes CPAP masks, insulin delivery packs and diagnostic tools such as urine-flow meters. Here we analyze the supply chain provision of a specific uroflowmetry device which is originally designed in Europe, manufactured in Asia and which has a range of distribution channels across healthcare systems. This paper analyses the impact of various AM technologies that can enable near-patient manufacture of devices ondemand. Our analysis shows that the cost of design-changes (or product updates), when reflected on the overall lifecycle cost, can be comparable to producing the device locally with a different supply chain arrangement. Furthermore it is suggested that in order to fully exploit the capabilities afforded by AM, the original product’s design features must be modified so that built-times are reduced allowing a larger 3D printing-based production capacity.
