Medical Makerspace

MakerHealth® Space

Your MakerHealth® Space is an integrated environment designed to foster and expedite the fabrication of medical devices and technologies. It is comprised of modules, which are the prototyping and health making stations with embedded tools, equipment, and materials in a smart workflow layout. This includes stations for: digital fabrication, rapid prototyping, health making, and collaboration.
