Off-shore sourcing partner puts new orthopedic product launch in jeopardy, so here comes Cadence to the rescue – A global orthopedic leader in new technologies for spinal surgeries was nearing the launch date for their latest innovative product. A serious obstacle came up with respect to meeting the aggressive launch date required for the introduction at the annual tradeshow event for the orthopedic surgeons. The initial production lot of cutting components, which handled the most critical function of the new device, arrived in the US after the due date (due to customs issues) and out of specification. In short, the parts would not perform the cutting function in the device, leaving the entire project in trouble.

Cadence was contacted as an emergency measure to try to get the devices functioning before introduction to the surgeons. By using rapid prototyping capability and working the overtime required to meet the schedule, the cutting problems were fixed ahead of the tradeshow.

The show was a success and the future manufacturing responsibility for the product line was given to Cadence.
