Additive manufacturing options supplier Intrepid Automation has entered right into a strategic partnership with Speedy Fluidics to advance the event and US-based manufacturing of microfluidic applied sciences.
By means of this alliance, Speedy 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 elements.
Per their settlement, Intrepid Automation will function Speedy Fluidics’ unique US manufacturing accomplice for microfluidics, with each firms working to scale up functions within the healthcare and industrial markets. As they appear to ‘shut the hole’ between lab-scale microfluidic innovation and the necessities of US manufacturing, they’ll utilise Intrepid’s ISO 13485- and ISO 9001-certified amenities.
“Speedy Fluidics brings deep experience in microfluidics, and our scalable 3D printing techniques permit these improvements to achieve 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 development in a number of sectors, from healthcare to industrial functions.”
“Partnering with Intrepid offers us the flexibility to deliver our microfluidic designs from the lab to real-world manufacturing quicker than ever,” mentioned Paul Marshall, Founder and CEO of Speedy Fluidics. “By establishing U.S.-based manufacturing, we are able to cut back prices, enhance reliability, and ship options that meet the rising demand for high-throughput well being and industrial functions. On the finish of the day, the last word objective is to speed up product improvement and apply breakthrough microfluidic expertise 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 position.
