For over 10 years, Nexxt Spine<\/a>, headquartered in Noblesville, IN, has been designing and manufacturing customized implants and medical devices for spinal fusion surgeries. Few products demand the level of precision and customization as these medical devices implanted in the human body. Nexxt Spine\u2019s engineering and manufacturing team relies on SOLIDWORKS<\/a> to get the job done.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

With the help of SOLIDWORKS, Nexxt Spine can keep all their design and manufacturing onsite, which is rare for their industry. With SOLIDWORKS as the design tool of choice, Nexxt Spine can take existing CAD models and easily adjust them, providing custom sizing for surgeons. Knowing they\u2019re able to provide quick turnaround on any requests, Nexxt Spine has built strong relationships with surgeons and distributors alike.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we design a certain product, we need to have many different SKU\u2019s, many different footprints of that implant for various anatomy. It\u2019s not a one size fits all piece. Using SOLIDWORKS saves a tremendous amount of time. SOLIDWORKS helps our engineering team automate some of the design process so they don\u2019t have to constantly recreate the wheel. Our engineers can create the design then input the different parameters and the software spits out the models. Says Marketing Coordinator Lindsey Bockhorst. \u201cSOLIDWORKS is the first point of entry when designing something such as an implant for a spine surgery. Our engineers say SOLIDWORKS is very user friendly.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nexxt Spine implants are known for their micro-roughened surfaces. These highly intricate peaks and valleys aid the fusing of vertebrae when an implant is put into someone\u2019s spinal column. The power and capabilities of SOLIDWORKS allows their engineers to produce these complex designs.<\/p>\n

Nexxt Spine doesn\u2019t use SOLIDWORKS solely based on its performance. SOLIDWORKS\u2019 ability to fit seamlessly into the rest of their operation is essential. \u201cThe connectivity to our other programs and equipment, including seven different 3D printers, is important us.\u201d, says Bockhorst.<\/p>\n

Speaking of fluidity with other equipment, Lindsey said \u201cI was talking with one of our engineers and he made a comment that \u2018If I was to look for another job, no one would hire me if I didn\u2019t use SOLIDWORKS.’ I think that speaks to your brand and platform that it\u2019s an industry standard. I also asked him what other industries use SOLIDWORKS and he replied ‘Everything’. So, I think it\u2019s cool to be known as that standard.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked how CATI has been part of Nexxt Spine\u2019s operations, Lead Development Engineer Austin Clemens pointed out Account Manager Kris Helms. \u201cKris has been a great help in exploring project management software packages (SOLIDWORKS PDM<\/a>) as a future thought for our company. Our engineering team has grown from three to nine over the last four years, so the future outlook is something that becomes critical for us. His frequent communications have been appreciated and have helped Alaedeen (Director of Engineering) and I project the future needs for our team.\u201d<\/p>\n
