“Speed and agility isn’t necessarily about moving faster—it’s about learning earlier.”

In our latest Meet the Speakers interview, Samuel Guest, Global Product Manager at Protolabs, challenges the common belief that manufacturing is the primary barrier to MedTech progress. Instead, he points to late-stage surprises and delayed learnings as the real culprits behind stalled innovation.

Sam’s session will dive into:

  • Engineering Agility: How to build predictable speed into the prototyping, validation, and production journey
  • Production Realism: The importance of introducing manufacturing considerations as early as possible to avoid “fragile” development processes
  • The Handover: Critical insights for R&D, design engineers, and project managers working on Class I and Class II medical devices
