Continue reading to discover more on speeding up the R&D process with these helpful hints in your back pocket.
Resolve manufacturing feasibility uncertainties early
When manufacturing ultra-precise quadrupole and other mass spectrometry, cylindricity tolerancing and diameter consistency are common challenges that delay progress and increase development costs. It’s essential to address and resolve these and other manufacturing feasibility concerns early in the R&D process to save time and money in the long run. To accomplish this task, recruit a team of experienced manufacturing engineers, technical developers, and craftspeople skilled in developing feasible solutions to produce – or improve – your mass spectrometry components before they hit the production floor.
Use rapid prototyping technologies
Using rapid prototyping technologies is another helpful tip for expediting the mass spectrometry R&D process. Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, is one such technology that can generate prototypes quickly and cost-efficiently. These technologies are also useful for accommodating tight product launch schedules, helping to bring your innovations to market faster. Rapid prototyping is an essential R&D tool for the next generation of mass spectrometry manufacturing.
Secure access to dedicated manufacturing resources
Our final tip for expediting the mass spectrometry R&D process is to ensure you have access to dedicated manufacturing resources when you need them. A fully equipped R&D lab with state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment designed for mass spectrometry and a knowledgeable team provide the hard-working tools and expertise required to bring your innovation to life faster.
