Creating an Advanced Drug Delivery System at Breathtaking Speed The Syqe inhaler includes 80% 3D printed parts. Our motto at Syqe is ‘Don’t think, print.’ 3D printing throughout the product design phase accelerates your thinking process and gets you to the end result faster.” Perry Davidson Syqe Medical Case Study

Swift Relief Creating innovative medical devices that solve unmet clinical challenges is always a formidable task. Add extreme time constraints plus the need to invent an entirely new drug delivery approach and you’ll match the pressure the young entrepreneurs at med-tech startup Syqe Medical faced. Their first project was the creation of a drug delivery system that would enable patients suffering from extreme neuropathic pain to use, for the first time, precisely controlled doses of cannabis for relief, while avoiding unnecessary physical reactions. “This pain is very resistant to many available...

Itay Kurgan, Syqe Medical head of design, holds the inhaler design used in the clinical trial. Swift Relief small the device would be, how it would function, how the electronics would work, and how the airflow would work. This was all achieved with our 3D printed model. This changed the whole conversation with the investor.” Funding was obtained as a result of this presentation and it was on to the next phase clinical trials.

Swift Relief “One of the biggest design challenges was the inhalation system. Different patients inhale in different ways, different age groups have different lung volumes. So we needed to create an airflow system that is completely patient-agnostic. And we had to achieve this in an affordable and rapid time frame,” explained Perry. “In a single month we iterated 10 completely different flow mechanisms that we printed in house, culminating in a unique mechanism which solved the problem. This design, using a geometry only possible with 3D printing, reached the level of performance that solved...
