Abstract
3D printing at point of care is an emerging business and many hospitals are on their way of becoming manufacturers of medical devices. In order to comply with medical regulations, production processes need to be managed and documented. Although various manufacturing execution systems (MES) exist for general purpose applications, the medical domain in combination with novel additive manufacturing processes poses special issues, requirements, and adaptation needs to these systems. In this paper we present a structured framework to select and evaluate an appropriate MES software for a 3D printing center at point of care. The results are based on a real-world case of a 3D printing center in a hospital and provide practical and theoretical insights on the selection and evaluation process in this novel manufacturing domain.
