Wearable sensor interfaces
Parametric holders and mechanical interfaces for studying position, pressure, cable exits and comfortable contact geometry.

DESIGN FOR
HUMAN CONTEXT.
Medical hardware often has demanding human and mechanical interfaces long before regulatory testing begins. AMLAB can help teams explore fit, ergonomics and integration through development-stage prototypes, sensor holders and laboratory fixtures. Clinical or patient-contact use always requires an independent, application-specific validation path.

TURN COMPLEXITY
INTO A WORKABLE PART.
For medtech startups, product development teams, research laboratories and diagnostic equipment designers.
We begin with the functional requirement and choose a design and manufacturing route only after understanding what must be proven.

WHERE WE CAN
ADD VALUE.
Application examples to start a technical conversation — not a portfolio of completed contracts.
Diagnostic housing mock-ups
Enclosure studies for circuit clearance, connectors, user access, assembly and cleaning feasibility before production engineering.
Laboratory fixtures
Sample holders, positioning fixtures, inspection aids and test-stage interfaces intended for controlled research environments.
Human factors prototypes
Form and ergonomic models to explore handling, grip, comfort, visibility and workflow with development stakeholders.

THE DETAILS
CHANGE
EVERYTHING.
These are the questions we bring to the table before recommending a process.
Discuss a project ↗Contact & cleaning
Skin contact, cleaning agents and sterilisation requirements must be assessed through suitable material data and testing.
Geometry & tolerances
Small connectors, clips, seals, sensor position and assembly repeatability.
Purpose & classification
A concept demonstrator, design verification model and regulated medical device have different evidence requirements.
Documentation
Material identification, design revision, test protocols and supplier responsibilities agreed for each phase.
04 / PROCESS OPTIONSPROCESS AWARE
NOT EVERY PART
NEEDS THE SAME PROCESS.
Processes below are starting options, not promises of in-house machine availability.
SLA / DLP
High-detail demonstrators and fine mechanical features.
SLS
Complex plastic housings and integrated features for development.
FDM / FFF
Rapid ergonomic mock-ups and laboratory fixtures.
05 / A TYPICAL PROJECT BRIEFEXAMPLE / NOT A CUSTOMER CASE
IMAGINE THE BRIEFFROM THE QUESTION
FROM THE QUESTION
TO THE FIRST PROTOTYPE.
A team developing a wearable sensor needs to compare two sensor thicknesses. We parameterise the receiving pocket, cable channel and sensor protrusion, print evaluation samples and revise the mechanical concept following fit and handling feedback. Any biological or clinical assessment remains separate.

06 / FAQQUESTIONS WE OFTEN EXPLORE
BEFORE WE
GET STARTED.
01Are your prototypes certified medical devices?＋
No. A development prototype is not a certified medical device. Regulatory classification, risk management and validation remain project-specific responsibilities.
02Can we prototype parts that touch skin?＋
We can discuss a mechanical concept, but contact safety and biocompatibility are not established by printing alone; suitable assessment is required before any use.
03Can you iterate from early CAD?＋
Yes, a sketch, model or requirements note can start a feasibility conversation and a scoped development plan.
