Case Study #
1
Component: Biopsy Instrument
Challenge:
A medical device manufacturer had a complex biopsy instrument set that consisted of eleven parts made out of plastic. However field results indicated that the plastic set could not meet the strength requirements for the application. Machining the eleven piece set from barstock would render the part too costly to produce.
Solution:
A metal injected molded set that would deliver the strength requirements needed and be significantly less than machining thus making it feasible for production.
