DOE in Action: Reducing Trial-and-Error in Product Development
A practical example of using data-driven experiments to streamline medical device process development and make faster, smarter product decisions.
Live Webinar
How do you narrow down product feature options without testing every possible combination?
Medical device product development involves a lot of moving pieces: material inputs, additives, process requirements, performance targets, and application needs. Every design decision matters. Learn how seemingly small changes can improve manufacturability, consistency, and overall device performance.
Join Chamfr and Applied Plastics for a live technical session showing Design of Experiments (DOE) in action through a real-world coating development example.
Dr. David Kissel, Director of R&D at Applied Plastics, will share how data-driven experiments help narrow options, reveal which variables are driving results, and support faster, smarter decisions with less trial-and-error.
Attendees will also receive a downloadable DOE Starter Kit, including a planning checklist, design-selection guide, and troubleshooting cheat sheet for their next product development project.

Who Should Attend
Built for MedTech Teams Evaluating Product Features for Device Applications
This webinar is designed for MedTech R&D engineers, product development teams, NPI teams, and technical leaders involved in evaluating coating technologies for medical devices.
It will be especially relevant for teams working on guidewires, catheter components, polymer tubing, mandrels, liners, extruded components, injection molded parts, colorants, or low-friction material systems where coating performance, testing methodology, and application fit can influence development decisions.
Register now to see how DOE helps reduce trial-and-error, improve product decisions earlier in development, and support faster evaluation across device applications.
