Success in the Medical Industry
From Concept to Design
Millions of people throughout the world are dealing with diabetes - requiring the need for insulin pumps to be an effective diabetes management tool.
On the product development side, insulin pumps demonstrate the complexities between the electronics and mechanical functionality of the device. This makes it critical for mechanical and electrical design systems to be seamless and integrated. Otherwise, it creates issues with lost information and limited traceability and visibility to change.

Medical Product Design
The insulin pump started with a primitive shape. Using NX Realize Shape’s surfacing tools, it was easily morphed into the desired shape and, afterwards, refined with the set continuity tool. Edges of the surfaces were made sharper or smooth and creases were smoothed out.
ECAD and PCB Design
Once the shape of the design and its specific components were finalized, the shelled body was used as a reference to develop a printed circuit board (PCB). The need for different components (buttons, switches, and screens) was taken into account when building the board.


Simulation and Analysis
Complex internal electronic components present cooling challenges for designers. Simcenter FloEFD was brought into the design process for its advanced meshing technology. With its seamless platform integration, the meshing process can be easily automated and – once completed – reinserted into the CAD environment.
