3D printing
Desktop additive manufacturing, including Bambu Lab machines such as the H2D, used to iterate visual models and educational prototypes.
3D lab
Design and prototyping, clearly labelled.
Aytav Medical Network explores educational and design-based projects: desktop 3D printing (including Bambu Lab printers such as the H2D), 3D scanning and laser work. These projects are in development.
Not medical devices. No clinical products.
Nothing shown here is offered as a medical device, diagnostic tool, implant, surgical guide or clinical service. Prints and scans are for visual prototyping, education and design exploration only. They are not for use on or in people, and they are not a substitute for regulated devices or clinical care.
3D scanning
Capturing the shape of existing objects so they can be studied, discussed or developed further as design references — not as patient imaging or diagnostic scans.
Laser
Laser cutting and marking for fixtures, labels and teaching models that sit alongside printed parts in a workshop setting.
How a prototype usually moves
A simple process
This is a typical workshop sequence for a visual prototype. It is not a clinical pathway and it does not describe a service with set fees or turnaround times.
-
Clarify what the object is for — teaching, a design conversation, or a visual mock-up — and what it is not for.
-
Start from a scan of an existing object, or from a digital model. Scanning here is for shape reference, not diagnosis.
-
Produce a version, look at it, and adjust. Materials and settings are chosen for a workshop prototype, not for implantation or clinical use.
-
Use the prototype to explain or explore a design idea. If a regulated device is ever required, that is a separate, formally governed process — not this lab.
Materials
Filament explorer
A plain-language overview of common desktop filaments used in prototyping. Properties vary by brand and print settings. None of these materials is presented here as a medical-grade or implantable product.
PLA
A common, easy-to-print polymer for visual models and early drafts. It is stiff, has a relatively low heat resistance, and is widely used for teaching models and form studies.
PETG
Tougher and more temperature-tolerant than basic PLA, often chosen when a prototype needs a bit more durability. Still a workshop material, not a clinical specification.
ABS and ASA
Engineering-style filaments used for stronger jigs and housings. ASA is often preferred when a part will sit in sunlight. Printing usually needs a more controlled environment.
TPU
A flexible filament used when a prototype should bend or cushion. Settings and machine capability matter, and flexible parts still need a design review.
Nylon (PA)
Used for tougher functional prototypes. It can absorb moisture and usually needs careful drying and print preparation. This is still not a statement of medical performance.
Model viewer
A 3D look, when a model is available.
No 3D model file is attached to this theme yet, so the heavy model-viewer library is not loaded. When a .glb file is added under assets/models/showcase.glb, or a model URL is set in the Customizer, an interactive viewer will appear here.
