Partnering for Excellence in Medical Device Development

At ARRK, we stand as the preferred choice for the world’s leading medical device development companies, enabling them to harness the advantages of the digital manufacturing model. Our expertise ranges from connected devices to personalized healthcare products, and we specialize in accelerating development and market introduction through rapid prototyping, bridge tooling, and low-volume production. With a commitment to addressing the evolving needs of the healthcare industry, ARRK is your trusted partner in innovation.

In a world marked by an aging population and a shortage of medical and caregiving staff, the healthcare industry is witnessing a paradigm shift. There is a growing expectation for the creation of new services empowered by digital technologies such as AI, IoT, big data, and sensors. Beyond traditional medical device manufacturers, diverse businesses from unrelated industries are entering the healthcare sector. This transformation, coupled with heightened health consciousness, necessitates the revitalization of the healthcare industry, and ARRK plays a pivotal role in driving this change.

ARRK offers an array of development support services for medical and healthcare equipment, including the design of models and working prototypes, as well as the supply of essential components. Our global presence is marked by a track record of success in developing external casings, skeletal structures, and organ specimens using casting and 3D printing for applications ranging from CT scanners to remote surgical devices and beauty equipment. Given the often extensive development timelines in the medical field, ARRK ensures the availability of critical resources to keep projects on track. Our proficiency in small-scale production further aligns with the unique needs of our clients, allowing us to cater to their specific requirements.

In the caregiving sector, robotics has experienced remarkable advancements, and ARRK has been at the forefront of these innovations. Our collaborative efforts include projects such as in-home caregiving robots developed by FUJI Corporation and autonomous mobility training robots by JTEKT Corporation. Recognizing the paramount importance of safety and durability in caregiving products, ARRK takes pride in delivering designs that seamlessly integrate warmth and functionality into people’s lives.
