MEDTEC Japan 2026 – Medical Device Design & Manufacturing Exhibition (Tokyo)

The exhibition focuses on future trends in medical device design and manufacturing and is expected to attract over 500 exhibitors—including public-sector organizations, OEM/ODM manufacturers, electronic components suppliers, safety, and healthcare companies—along with approximately 20,000 visitors.

Shortened development cycles: Micro metal additive manufacturing unlocks a manufacturing revolution in ultra-precision pure tungsten.

1/10の速さで、極限を形に。～マイクロ金属3D積層造形がもたらす製造革命

We present a breakthrough solution aimed at addressing two of the greatest bottlenecks in next-generation medical device development: the limits of micro-machining and the rapid escalation of prototyping cost and time.

Tasks once considered impossible with conventional precision machining or mold forming—such as fabricating 2D honeycomb structures and ultra–high aspect ratio components in pure tungsten—are now realized through monolithic fabrication using micro metal 3D printing. This presentation will, for the first time, reveal a concrete workflow showing how this technology enables products to reach the market at one-tenth the cycle time of traditional processes.

In particular, we will share the latest development case studies of anti-scatter grids required for next-generation CT systems, specifically Photon-Counting CT (PCCT). This technology simultaneously meets the stringent demands of Japanese medical device manufacturers for ultra-high precision and R&D efficiency. Through Taiwan–Japan technological collaboration, we aim to shorten the path from development to mass production and propose new possibilities for building a next-generation global medical component supply chain.

本講演では、次世代の医療機器開発における最大のボトルネックである「微細加工の限界」と「試作コスト・時間の膨大化」を打破する革新的なソリューションを提示します。
従来の精密加工や金型成形では不可能とされた、純タングステンによる「2Dハニカム構造」や「超高アスペクト比」の部品製造。これらをマイクロ金属3Dプリント技術によって一体成形し、従来の1/10の期間で製品化へと導く具体的なプロセスを公開します。
特に、次世代CT（PCCT）向けアンチスキャッタグリッドの最新開発事例を紹介。日本の医療機器メーカーが求める「超精密」と「スピード」を両立し、研究開発から量産までを最短距離で繋ぐ。
