Optimizing OEM-CDMO Collaboration for Smoother MedTech Scale-UpÂ
Best practices for bridging R&D and manufacturing to reduce rework, improve handoffs, and accelerate medical device development.
Live Webinar
Your prototype works. But is it ready to scale?
For MedTech teams, the move from R&D to manufacturing can expose hidden gaps: unclear inspection expectations, manufacturability challenges, supplier misalignment, and design decisions that worked in development but create problems in production.
Join Jacob Gibb, Senior Manager, Supplier Engineering at Intuitive Surgical,
for a practical conversation on how to bridge R&D and manufacturing more effectively.
From early supplier involvement to clearer production requirements and stronger OEM-CDMO
collaboration, this webinar will explore how MedTech teams can reduce rework,
avoid delays, and create a smoother path from prototype to production.

You’ll learn how to:
- Identify common gaps that can emerge during scale-up
- Improve R&D-to-manufacturing handoffs
- Involve suppliers earlier to reduce manufacturability risk
- Factor inspection, tolerance, and manufacturability considerations into earlier development conversations
- Strengthen OEM-CDMO collaboration from prototype through production
