Injection molding technology to promote the development of medical device products
The mold level determines the quality level of medical device products, which usually requires a large amount of the manufacturer's cost and time. America Worrell company developed a set of solutions, using the PolyJet Stratasys injection molding technology to achieve the required mould surface finish, and add the same material by using internal injection machine into the mold cavity, final setting made into finished products.
3 d printing and add manufacturing equipment manufacturers Stratasys Ltd. Company is working with design and product developers Worrell design companies in the United States, by running 3 d injection molding technology, help medical device manufacturers will product to market faster, and can save 70% of the cost.
A client recently approached by Worrell needed to build a dual-flow needle system to reduce the need for multiple injections, improving patient comfort and hospital efficiency. According to the business development manager Derek Worrell Mathers is introduced: "in the validation of a series of 3 d molding function prototype test, we only need to make some important design changes, print revision of the mold, the second day can run molding parts, and do not need to spend a lot of money in the mould modification and processing. If you use traditional techniques, some of the abuse will not immediately surface. Adjustments must be designed and used with tools that can be tested and sterilized without using any tools.
Worrell made the prototype of the medical device by using 3D printing injection moulds to reduce the cost of traditional moulds by about 70 percent and save 95 percent of the time.
