We have used the 3D printing services at M-PED to build device prototypes and tissue phantoms to mimic human anatomy. The 3D printing services at M-PED have allowed us to perform the product design iteration and product validation at a much faster speed and greatly lower cost.

Results from the first U.S. trial of this device will be presented at AAO 2015, the 119th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology...."
