Medical Device Development and Engineering Services

A Development Partner That Ships Its Own Devices

Zlinemed is not a design agency. We develop and manufacture our own medical products — the ZL-HSDRILL drill controller, the ZL-RobotSaw, and a complete simulation platform — and the same engineering team supports external device projects. That changes the advice you get: recommendations come from manufacturing and test-bench experience, not from renderings.

Clients engage us at whatever scope fits: one technical module, one discipline, or a complete product development program.

How a Program Runs

1. Requirements and feasibility — clarify the intended use case, performance targets, and technical risks before budget is committed.
2. System architecture — split the product into mechanics, electronics, and software with defined interfaces.
3. Industrial and mechanical design — ergonomics, enclosures, transmissions, and tolerance engineering.
4. Electronics and PCBA — schematic architecture, layout, and power and isolation design.
5. Embedded software — HMI, communication, and motor control firmware.
6. Prototype integration — working samples that combine all disciplines.
7. Verification and design iteration — functional testing, failure analysis, and design refinement.
8. Pilot production support — documentation, supplier coordination, and small-batch builds.

The Four Disciplines

Industrial Design

Clinical usage research, concept sketching, 3D surface modeling with CMF definition, photorealistic rendering, and appearance prototypes. Full industrial design service →

Mechanical Design

Mechanism architecture, transmission design, FEA-based verification, parametric 3D design, and 2D production drawings with GD&T. Full mechanical design service →

Circuit Design

Schematic architecture, component selection, multi-layer PCB layout with EMC/EMI optimization, and simulation-based validation. Full circuit design service →

Software Design

Qt-based HMI development, communication protocols (UART, CAN, RS485, EtherCAT, Modbus), and FOC motor control firmware. Full software design service →

Where the Experience Comes From

The team’s working knowledge covers medical power systems, motor control, embedded systems, mechanical structures, user interfaces, EMC/ESD design, and prototype manufacturing. Every one of those subjects appears in Zlinemed’s own product line, so your project is built with tools and processes that are already exercised daily.
