A global vision for medical moulding – Medical Device Developments

Karl Stillman, Vice President, Strategic Sales, Rosti Group, explains to Medical Device Developments how technological capability and manufacturing knowhow must go hand in hand with management capability and years of experience to fully satisfy the industry’s requirements.

High-precision injection moulding is essential to the manufacture of many medical devices, but technology alone cannot meet the stringent quality levels demanded by today’s life sciences sector.

3-D Printing Creates Efficiencies in Injection Molding

In the world of plastics manufacturing, there has been a definitive line between 3D printed parts and plastic injection molded parts. However, in recent years, that line has blurred as more injection molders not only see the value in 3D printing for prototyping parts or low-volume runs but also to help create efficiencies in their own manufacturing processes. While using 3D printing to improve injection molding outcomes is not always common practice, PCI’s forward-thinking engineers have identified areas where additive molding plays a significant role in enhancing machine functionality.

4 Reasons to Consider Metal to Plastic Conversion

Since the introduction of engineering-grade resins and plastic materials in the 1950s, many parts previously fabricated from metal have been replaced by injection molded parts. On average, companies report an overall cost savings of 25-50% by converting to plastic parts, yet some manufacturers have resisted making the change.

Design Is Top Consideration To Reduce Plastics Manufacturing Costs

Plastics manufacturing is a highly competitive, global industry in which businesses are presented with both time and cost challenges. Avoiding delays and reducing risks for costly design changes can mean that your product gets to market faster than your competitors. The sharp line that was once drawn between development and production is now, oftentimes, blurred with manufacturers leaning on industry design experts to become involved in the design for manufacturability process. In fact, manufacturers rank design as the top factor in reducing overall manufacturing costs.

5 Ways Lights-Out Manufacturing Has Transformed Injection Moulding

The tendency for North American manufacturers of plastic parts to outsource tasks to South America or overseas is changing back toward reshoring – or that of keeping production processes in house and within the United States. After decades of offshoring for economic purposes, wages in emerging economies have started to rise substantially.
