Additive manufacturing options supplier Intrepid Automation has entered right into a strategic partnership with Fast Fluidics to advance the event and US-based manufacturing of microfluidic applied sciences.
By this alliance, Fast Fluidics is ready to mix its design and prototyping experience with Intrepid Automation’s ‘scalable, production-grade additive manufacturing capabilities.’ They hope to allow less expensive improvement and manufacturing of high-precision microfluidic parts.
Per their settlement, Intrepid Automation will function Fast Fluidics’ unique US manufacturing associate for microfluidics, with each corporations working to scale up purposes within the healthcare and industrial markets. As they give the impression of being to ‘shut the hole’ between lab-scale microfluidic innovation and the necessities of US manufacturing, they are going to utilise Intrepid’s ISO 13485- and ISO 9001-certified amenities.
“Fast Fluidics brings deep experience in microfluidics, and our scalable 3D printing programs permit these improvements to succeed in mass manufacturing with out compromise,” mentioned Ben Wynne, President and CTO of Intrepid Automation. “This partnership isn’t nearly velocity, however moderately high quality, regulatory compliance, and making a basis for future progress in a number of sectors, from healthcare to industrial purposes.”
“Partnering with Intrepid provides us the power to convey our microfluidic designs from the lab to real-world manufacturing quicker than ever,” mentioned Paul Marshall, Founder and CEO of Fast Fluidics. “By establishing U.S.-based manufacturing, we will scale back prices, enhance reliability, and ship options that meet the rising demand for high-throughput well being and industrial purposes. On the finish of the day, the final word aim is to speed up product improvement and apply breakthrough microfluidic know-how in ways in which meaningfully enhance human well being.”
Intrepid Automation not too long ago introduced Wealthy Carone, a producing and automation veteran with greater than 5 many years of expertise, as its new CEO, with former CEO Ben Wynne now occupying the CTO function.
