Wilmington, Massachusetts
Turnkey Design and Development for complex devices
Viant Wilmington is a self-contained design and development center dedicated to moving medical device programs from concept through design transfer.
Located in the Boston medtech corridor, the site supports OEMs across surgical technologies, orthopedics, drug delivery, cardiovascular and interventional, bioprocessing, and diagnostics markets.
Work spans the full development lifecycle — concept generation, DFM/DFA, simulation, prototyping, and design verification testing. With an extensive track record of successful transfers into the Viant manufacturing network, designs arrive at production sites ready to scale.

| Core Capabilities | Our Approach | What it Means For You |
|---|---|---|
| Design & Development | In-house engineering supports front-end design review, prototyping, and process development, carrying a program from concept through design transfer into production. | A design gets manufacturing input before it reaches the floor, cutting down on the redesign and rework that surface later in a program. |
| NPI | Dedicated NPI team executing ViaLaunch™ methodology and 3P events, with cross-functional resources (PM, NPI Manager, QEs, MEs, Buyer) aligned from kickoff through production release. | New programs move from concept to validated production with fewer surprises, tighter timelines, and lower launch risk. |
| Program Management | Program management support grounded in EPMO and PMBOK® best practices, with Lean and Six Sigma principles embedded throughout. Viant’s team aligns to program goals, proactively manages risk, and maintains clear communication at every stage. | Clear ownership and proactive risk management from kickoff through delivery that supports audit readiness. |
| Polymer Molding & Materials Engineering | Four plastics engineers with 100+ years of combined experience in material science, polymer analysis, mold flow analysis, mold design, and DFM/DFA. Successful launches in endoscopic, arthroscopic, orthopedic, urological, and implant applications. | Material selection and mold design are guided by specialists who understand how decisions at this stage affect manufacturability and compliance downstream. |
| Simulation and Analysis | SolidWorks design environment with Moldflow and FEA analysis (including non-linear static and dynamic simulations via ANSYS). Capable of analyzing metals, plastics, and non-linear materials like NiTi. | Design decisions are validated digitally before physical prototyping, catching issues when changes are still inexpensive. |
| Surface Finishing & Cleaning | In-house finishing processes including validated deburring, electropolishing, passivation, bead blasting, laser marking, and ultrasonic cleaning for metal components. | Functional finishes that support device safety, corrosion resistance, traceability, and regulatory compliance. |
| Prototyping | On-site development capabilities include rapid prototyping, fixture development, 3D printing, and test method development, supported by engineering, simulation, and design-for-manufacturing expertise. | Physical prototypes and test fixtures are built in-house, keeping iteration cycles short and development moving. |
| Metrology & Inspection | Capabilities include vision systems, test method development, fixture fabrication, and in-house testing equipment for product and process verification. | Products and processes are verified during development, helping reduce risk, confirm requirements, and support smoother transfer into manufacturing. |
