Thermoplastics Portfolio
These micro medical components are made with thermoplastics, which is a medical grade polymer that becomes pliable above a specific temperature, but returns to its rigid state upon cooling. See our Thermoplastic Materials page to learn about the types of materials we work with.
Our specialized micromolding process and capabilities allows us to achieve >95% part’s model geometry produced without exception, even with extremely small and precise features like ultra thin walls.
