Sacha van Rheenen is a speaker at the 3D Medtech Printing conference. He will talk about the necessity of validation for medical 3D printing and explain where to start. Since writing this article, we have learned more about the process validation of 3D print processes. Also, new ISO standards dealing with 3D printing have been published (e.g. ISO-ASTM 52920), while others will hopefully soon be released. I am happy and optimistic that the ASTM and the ISO organisations worked together on this, so we have a globally harmonised standard that we can all follow.
3D printing has grown to be a professional production method.
Like any production process in medical devices and pharma production, the process must be validated. Join us in life or online to learn more about this dreaded but oh so important topic of validation.
