About this event

Join the MDMC for our Innovation Week Open Day

As part of Innovation Week, the Medical Device Manufacturing Centre (MDMC) invites you to discover how we accelerate the translation of innovative medical device concepts into commercial prototypes. Our Open Day is a unique opportunity to see how we act as a vital bridge between academia and industry to foster powerful collaborations.

This event is your opportunity to explore potential partnerships and see how our integrated support covers the full development pathway. You will get to:

  • Tour our state-of-the-art facilities and see case studies of our capabilities, from nano-scale 3D printing and injection moulding to reverse engineering.
  • Learn how we facilitate access to advanced clinical resources, including Thiel cadaveric facilities for robust device trials, to support our collaborative projects.
  • See the results of our partnerships firsthand through a showcase of client projects, including laser-processed items, intricate 3D prints, and injection-moulded components.

This Open Day is designed for innovators, entrepreneurs, academics, industry leaders looking to collaborate as well as anyone with a curious mind. Our team will be on hand to connect with you, discuss new opportunities for growth, and explore how we can work together.

Find out how we can help you navigate the path from concept to commercial prototype, and learn how our collaborative services are offered free of charge for Scottish-based companies.
