A European medical startup needed a biocompatible resin surgical guide for a time-sensitive clinical evaluation. Instead of emailing multiple suppliers, the team uploaded STL files to AIHFABS and compared certified partners on price, lead time, and material certification notes.

Challenge

  • 48-hour turnaround required for a pilot study
  • High surface detail and dimensional accuracy on curved anatomy
  • Confidential patient-derived geometry

Solution

The project was quoted in SLA with a medical-grade resin option. AIHFABS surfaced three supplier offers; the team selected a partner with the best balance of lead time and documented resin datasheet.

Results

  • Guides delivered in 2 business days
  • 18% lower total cost versus a single-supplier RFQ baseline
  • File handling remained inside the platform workflow with no manual email quoting
