NM3D Ibérica strengthens its position as a technology partner for the healthcare sector, offering a comprehensive portfolio of specialised services in industrial metrology, non-destructive testing, 3D digitisation, reverse engineering and additive manufacturing, designed to address the technical, regulatory and production challenges of the medical device industry.
In a sector where patient safety, regulatory compliance and traceability are critical, NM3D supports manufacturers from development and validation stages through to final quality control, delivering advanced, reliable solutions aligned with the highest industry standards.
X-ray Inspection and Industrial Computed Tomography
Seeing beyond the surface in medical devices
Industrial X-ray and computed tomography (CT) inspection services enable internal analysis of medical devices and technical components without destruction, providing critical insights not accessible through conventional inspection methods.
These services allow healthcare manufacturers to:
detect internal porosity, cracks and inclusions in implants and devices
validate complex internal geometries in miniaturised components
measure internal dimensions with high precision
analyse assembled medical devices without disassembly
support validation processes and regulatory documentation
Healthcare application examples:
Orthopaedic implants and metal components produced via additive manufacturing
Customised prosthetics
Precision surgical instruments
Medical components in technical polymers
Hospital equipment with complex internal structures
This type of inspection helps reduce clinical risk, prevent in-service failures and improve overall product robustness and safety.
Dimensional Metrology and Quality Control
Precision that ensures compliance and safety
NM3D provides advanced dimensional metrology services tailored to the medical sector, ensuring reliable, traceable measurements aligned with strict regulatory requirements.
Services include:
dimensional inspection of implants and medical devices
first article inspection and pre-series validation
dimensional control in small and medium production batches
measurement of high-precision components
laboratory-based or on-site measurements
Dimensional metrology in healthcare is essential to guarantee critical tolerances, production repeatability and regulatory compliance.
3D Digitisation and Reverse Engineering
Transforming physical medical devices into accurate digital data
3D digitisation and reverse engineering services enable precise capture of medical device geometries, even for small-scale parts or complex surfaces.
NM3D supports manufacturers and R&D centres in:
reverse engineering of devices without existing CAD models
comparison between nominal CAD models and actual parts
deformation and geometric deviation analysis
digital documentation for validation processes
These services accelerate development cycles, improve dimensional control and preserve technical know-how.
Additive Manufacturing and Prototyping for Healthcare
From clinical validation to customised production
In the field of additive manufacturing, NM3D offers services tailored to healthcare applications, enabling:
production of functional prototypes for technical validation
development of customised medical devices
small-series production of medical components
hospital auxiliary devices
Integration between additive manufacturing, metrology and CT inspection ensures structural validation, dimensional control and internal integrity verification of each produced part.
