Design, product development, and manufacturing processes can all be improved by implementing good Design for Manufacturing (DfM) principles early in the design phase of medical devices utilizing plastic injection molding. Aiming to ensure that your medical device design adheres to good DfM practices from the initial stages, this whitepaper explains:

  • How mold components affect design and the overall injection molding process
  • How plastic material selection affects the molding process
  • Common defects and how to avoid them

This whitepaper addresses design factors for medical device injection molding, including drafting, shrink allowance, wall thickness, mold parts, and plastic materials. These factors, if correctly accounted for, can lower total tool and component costs, optimize the manufacturing process by achieving the highest levels of quality and performance, and decrease the risk of costly manufacturing issues.

 

The FDA and ISO hold strict standards for regulating medical devices. Your final product's integrity and subsequent approval can both be significantly jeopardized by defects. Fortunately, these challenges can be remedied and even prevented. Common molding, cosmetic, and structural challenges, causes, and remedies are also discussed in this whitepaper.
