In medical devices, injection molding is a widely used and seemingly well understood process, yet issues and delays are commonplace. Utilizing design for manufacturing (DFM) and tools such as Moldflow® simulation software are also common, but like any process or tool, it’s people with expertise that make the difference. Truly understanding not just what Moldflow is saying but how to adapt the part and tool design are critical in delivering injection molded components on time, on budget and with the desired characteristics.

In this webinar you will learn:

• Principles of volumetric shrinkage and how they impact warp
• How to manage warp to accomplish your desired objective
• How to design a tool build that eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming ‘tuning’ loops
• How an investment in DFM and predictive engineering shortens the overall time to market

At Aptyx, we’ve brought together the aptitude and excellence of more than a dozen companies with a 70-year-plus track record in manufacturing, helping medtech customers solve tough challenges with confidence. We help teams bring complex components and devices from idea to market success with entrepreneurial speed and sustainable results.

As a single-source provider, we excel at a broad range of specialized capabilities – including D&D, engineering, molding (injection, dip, and blow), extrusion, coating, assembly, automation, and tooling. With the recent addition of Aptyx Interventional Systems via our acquisition of Medical Murray’s Charlotte facility, we’ve expanded our expertise in catheter-based interventional and implantable devices. Our global network of facilities spans the US, Mexico, Canada, and China, providing flexible production options and deep technical know-how.
