Molding in Medical Design
Molder shoots silicone over thermoplastics
A two-shot silicone-thermoplastic is intended for molding medical devices. The technique requires expertise in processing and material compatibility, but gives medical OEM’s opportunities to design multimaterial components at lower costs, with fewer assembly steps, and greater design freedom. |
