LAB READY
Medical device manufacturing led by experience
Lab Ready gives orthopedic engineering teams direct access to 20 years of medical-device engineering and manufacturing experience.
Built by a medical-device engineer
Charlie Barfield brings 20 years of medical-device engineering and manufacturing experience to each orthopedic part project. That background keeps the first conversation centered on the part, its development stage and what the engineering team needs to learn next.
After repeated frustration with the cost and lead times of low-quantity medical-device parts, Charlie began building a more efficient manufacturing workflow around 2022. Within a year, that system was working well enough to support other engineers facing the same challenge. Lab Ready takes its name from the goal: deliver orthopedic instruments and implant components prepared for the surgeon lab and the next program decision.
RFQs are reviewed directly, without requiring an account or upload portal. Complete requests typically receive a quote within one business day, and emails typically receive a response within 1–2 business hours.
Move from concept to lab-ready parts quickly, affordably and without compromising quality
The value is not simply making a component. It is coordinating the right process, material, finish and level of validation so your team can keep moving.
Medical-device quality system
Certified quality management supports controlled, repeatable manufacturing for medical-device development.
Direct project support
The founder reviews RFQs directly and stays close to the job from first quote through delivery.
Fewer suppliers to manage
Machining, printing, finishing and assembly can be coordinated through one partner.
Tight-tolerance capability
Multi-axis equipment and specialty processes support simple and complex orthopedic parts.
No MOQ
Order a single part, a small development batch or an end-use production run.
A small business built for direct technical support
Medical-device teams and machine shops work directly with the founder for creative process answers, responsive quoting and coordinated manufacturing.
Built to stay at the top of the RFQ list
