The world of medical technology is constantly changing, and innovation is key. Wearable devices have become game-changers, allowing for continuous health monitoring and real-time data for both patients and doctors. But there's always room for improvement. Wouldn't it be great if these devices were smaller, more comfortable, and even more functional?

3D-Circuits
Introducing 3D-Circuits
This is where 3D-Circuits, also known as 3D-MID (Mechatronic Integrated Device), come in. This exciting technology integrates circuits directly into 3D moulded plastic. Imagine the housing of your hearing aid becoming the circuit board itself! This eliminates the need for separate components and bulky connections, paving the way for a new generation of wearable medical devices.
The advantages of 3D-Circuits
- Miniaturisation: 3D-Circuits dramatically reduce the size of wearable devices. Take hearing aids, for instance. 3D-Circuits allow for in-ear designs that are nearly invisible and comfortable to wear.
- Enhanced functionality: Despite their smaller size, 3D-Circuits can pack more features into a single device. This can lead to improved performance in hearing aids, such as better sound quality and lower power consumption.
- Seamless design: 3D-Circuits allow for complete design freedom. The device's shape can be customised to perfectly fit the body, further enhancing comfort and usability.
By integrating functions and the three-dimensional routing of circuit tracks, the design space for the electronics of hearing aids can be optimally utilised.
For over a decade, HARTING has been a provider of 3D-MID solutions for medical devices. We offer a comprehensive service, from concept design to prototyping and manufacturing. Our Swiss-made 3D-Circuits are built with the highest quality standards, ensuring reliability and long-lasting performance.
Embrace the future of wearable medical technology
The medical technology landscape is ever-evolving, and 3D-Circuits are at the forefront of this change. HARTING's 3D-Circuit technology offers the potential to revolutionise wearable medical devices, making them smaller, smarter, and more comfortable for patients. With a focus on functionality, miniaturisation, and trust, 3D-Circuits are poised to shape the future of healthcare.
