 The Challenge
Developing groundbreaking cancer treatment technology requires years of research but actually being first to market with new products is a race against time. The challenge facing Photo Therapeutics and Lucid Innovation Group was to convert the concept for a groundbreaking non-surgical skin cancer treatment into a shipping product in the shortest possible timeframe.
The Solution
Lucid designed and modelled the pioneering skin cancer treatment device using SolidWorks 3D mechanical design software. The company used eDrawings and PhotoWorks to collaborate with clinicians, engineers, marketers and toolmakers around the world.
Summary
Using SolidWorks 3D Lucid was able quickly to build and
review solid models of Photo Therapeutics’ concept device. The result was the Omnilux,
the first non-surgical treatment device for non-melanoma skin conditions. Lucid took the
Omnilux from concept to shipped product in ten months, meeting Photo Therapeutics’
tight deadline and getting the product to market ahead of any competitors.
“Using SolidWorks we were able to get quick verification of design ideas from those who would be using the product. That kind of input is crucial to product functionality. Quickly turning that input into solid models for prototyping is paramount for meeting tight production schedules.”
