Isometric Companies: Over 30 Years of Micro Solutions

Isometric, News

Our History 35 Years of Micro Solutions Isometric's rich history begins with Founder Michael T. Hudalla, who formed Isometric Tool & Design in 1990. At that time, the Isometric vision was to manufacture tooling and provide manufacturing solutions to exacting specifications for ultra-small, ultra-precise, and ultra-complex applications. In 2009, a specific customer-driven need prompted the addition of a complimentary core competency in micro automated assembly systems. During this time, the Isometric team’s ambition toward manufacturing innovation helped develop what is now known as the ‘Process of Discovery’. Isometric's Process of Discovery has three main initiatives, which we still apply to every project: Discover Innovative Ideas by thinking beyond the norm with fresh, novel approaches that work.

Isometric’s Microns Matter® PFMEA Process

General, White Papers

Isometric's Microns Matter® PFMEA Process Figure 1.1 Isometric Micro Molding “Average” Tolerance Risk Assessment Strategy Each phase of Isometric's Microns Matter® PFMEA process allows for the accurate estimation of percentage micron tolerance risks, which mitigates risks during each phase. Truly, components and devices with micron tolerances can only be successfully manufactured by applying years of tooling and plastics engineering experience. These phases include: ULTRA-PRECISION TOOLING METROLOGY MATERIAL DRYING MATERIAL LOT TO LOT VARIATION MICRO INJECTION MOLDING PROCESS The histogram in Figure 1.1 shows the average percentage error in each of these phases for a molded part with a tolerance of +/- 8 microns (16 microns total) and a process capability index (Cpk) of 1.33. From a risk mitigation standpoint, it's critical to select a micro molding partner with a vertically…

Micro Molding the Tiniest Parts On Earth

Articles, Isometric

Micro Molding the Tiniest Parts On Earth Isometric's Donna Bibber and Brent Hahn were recently interviewed by Design News about the growing trend of miniaturization and the micro molding industry. The demand is seen in many markets, from fiberoptic connectors to intraocular surgical instruments. “Our main customer base has been medical and drug delivery device OEMs. Our value is in solving miniaturized device problems for fitting into tiny spaces such as surgical endoscopes, insulin pumps, wearable devices, transdermal needle arrays to name a few,” Donna Bibber, CEO at Isometric, told Design News. “We also produce implantables, where the parts hold a slow-release drug in the body that dissolves. Or the parts hold a hernia mesh together with material that is designed to dissolve.” Donna Bibber, CEO In addition, the duo…

Micro Ophthalmic Ocular Implants

Articles, Isometric

Micro Ophthalmic Ocular Implants Donna Bibber shares insight about micro ophthalmic ocular implants and the continued impact of micro mold manufacturing on worldwide growth in the next five years. Micro ophthalmic and intraocular implants continue to be one of the largest and fastest-growing global micro medical and pharma micro device market sectors. Driven by a baby boomer aging population, technology innovations, and vast, rapidly emerging markets in China and India, the ophthalmic devices sector is expected to attain a double-digit growth. Age-related eye diseases such as cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and macular degeneration (to name only a few) continue to cause significant or complete loss of vision. Since ophthalmic and intraocular implants are largely made up of many micro-sized and highly precise components and assemblies, it's easy to understand the…

How One Doctor is Improving Stress Tests for Women

Patient Monitoring

March 8th is International Women’s Day, a global day for celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. We’re reflecting on progress made and celebrating acts of courage and determination by women all over the world, especially in the medical field. Although women comprise most of the health workforce around the world, they disproportionally represent lower cadres of health workers. They hold a small fraction of leadership positions and are substantially under-represented in management, leadership, and governance. Despite facing gender discrimination and more barriers to career progression than men, among other challenges, women continue to progress and make great strides in the medical field. Dr. Ashley Simmons Dr. Ashley Simmons is an agent of change for women everywhere. She noticed many of her patients expressed feeling embarrassed or uncomfortable while…
