THE OBJECTIVE
Voytek Medical develops products designed to lock all patient cables to a desired bedside monitor or roll stand, without voiding warranties or modifying equipment. By offering a variety of options and lengths, Voytek saves healthcare institutions money by securing their investments in equipment and devices.
As a startup without outside investment or partners, getting products to market quickly and cost-effectively was critical to the company’s ability to grow and thrive.
THE CHALLENGE: SCALING WITHOUT SACRIFICING QUALITY
Hospitals and healthcare facilities rely on Voytek’s cable organization devices to keep medical equipment secure and fully functional. During materials movement, cables were often lost or tangled, causing wasted time, higher costs, and delayed procedures. Traditional manufacturing struggled to meet large, urgent orders while maintaining consistent quality.
THE SOLUTION: INTEGRATED ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
In an industry where product quality and reliability are non-negotiable, Voytek Medical turned to Shapeways for on-demand additive manufacturing. Shapeways brought two key capabilities that made scaling possible:
