MD&M Minneapolis Tech Talk Preview – High-Aspect-Ratio Molding Reaches New Extremes

Events, General, Isometric

MD&M Minneapolis Tech Talk Preview – High-Aspect-Ratio Molding Reaches New Extremes Editor-in-chief of Design News, Daphne Allen, previews Isometric’s upcoming MD&M Minneapolis Tech talk. Daphne Allen, editor-in-chief of Design News recently discussed Isometric’s upcoming presentation at MD&M Minneapolis, “High-Aspect-Ratio Molding Reaches New Extremes”. The talk will be given by Isometric’s VP of Business Development & Strategy, Brent Hahn, on Tuesday, October 10 at 2:00PM in the Expo Hall Tech Theater. Allen wrote “Hahn will explore how a variety of resins—from traditional, high-flow materials to difficult-to-process materials such as PEEK and FEP—can be used to create fully filled cannula and catheter tips without flash and without secondary operations that measure 0.001 in. (25 microns) and reach extreme aspect ratios (L/T) as high as 400:1.” VIEW ARTICLE LEARN MORE ABOUT MD&M MINNEAPOLIS

Donna Bibber Presents at SPE National Week of Injection Molding

Events, General, Isometric

Donna Bibber Presents at SPE National Week of Injection Molding Isometric was a proud sponsor of the SPE National Week of Injection Molding. This online event featured experts from the industry who explored some of the most popular trends, techniques, and technologies that make Injection Molding one of the most versatile and scalable manufacturing options available. In addition, Isometric CEO, Donna Bibber, presented “Micro Molding Tooling Challenges for Miniaturization.” The presentation discussed how product developers and device makers need to master the challenges of miniaturization, as the demand for micro components increases. In micro molding, tooling is THE enabling factor for producing these micro components and assemblies while still maintaining tight micron tolerances and complex geometries. Her presentation reviewed some of variables that impact the science of designing and fabricating…

Donna Bibber presents on Miniaturized Device Platforms Accelerating MedTech Growth

General, Isometric, News

Donna Bibber presents on Miniaturized Device Platforms Accelerating MedTech Growth Micro molded filter with 0.002” (50 microns) openings Donna Bibber, CEO of Isometric Micro Molding Inc., recently participated in a virtual event for the Society for Plastics Engineers (SPE) Medical Plastics Division. The SPE Medical Plastics Division encourages the interchange of technical and regulatory information on polymer materials/components used in medical devices among engineers and others working in medical device and related industries. (For more information on the Medical Plastics Division of SPE: https://mpd.4spe.org/)With a mass movement towards self-care, targeted delivery, and remote patient monitoring, medical and drug delivery devices are becoming smaller and smarter. To meet the explosive demand for these less invasive, portable, and miniaturized wearable health devices, scalability is paramount for commercializing platforms using miniaturized, highly precise…

What 3D Printing Brings to Medical Micro Molding

General, Isometric

What 3D Printing Brings to Medical Micro Molding Isometric Micro Molding was featured in a Plastics Today article that shared how Isometric helps medical device OEMs accelerate time to market while reducing costs by means of additive manufacturing. “Microprinting is not just feasible for prototyping, it’s become a go-to for the development phases of many micro molding and micro automated assembly programs.” - Donna Bibber The article describes how Isometric has invested in a development lab dedicated to 3D printing and rapid prototyping and now has seven 3D printing machines in-house, with plans to add more to support miniaturized device manufacturing capabilities using advanced materials. When prototype parts are needed quickly or if the customer requires multiple design iterations in parallel, 3D printing the components in a photopolymer is advantageous, but…

Isometric Featured on Webinar Discussing MicroNeedles

General, Isometric, Webinars

Isometric Featured on Webinar Discussing Microneedles Isometric Micro Molding CEO, Donna Bibber, and VP of Business Development and Strategy, Brent Hahn, recently took part in a Sodick & Friends webinar, "Molding MicroNeedle Array Patches". The webinar explored the perceived limitations of molded needles and sharps. Attendees reviewed examples of micro molded microneedles, microneedle array patches (MAPs), insert molded microneedles and bioresorbable needles, in addition to expert insights on proper micro molding techniques. Microneedle array patches are something we specialize in. Many times...someone will come to us looking for a solution and during that period of time they made concessions because they didn't think something was possible. They designed around what they really wanted and designed to what they thought was possible. We like to take a step back and ask,…

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…

Super Hydrophobic and Super Hydrophilic Microfluidic Surfaces

General, Isometric

Super Hydrophobic and Super Hydrophilic Microfluidic Surfaces Polymer micro molding is a scalable and economic method of manufacturing devices with microscopic surfaces, in particular super-hydrophobic and super-hydrophilic microscopic surfaces. These surfaces are created using microscopic and repeated geometric patterns (tiny cylindrical posts and channels). These features can be fabricated to work collaboratively on the same surface to promote fluid flowing in some areas or prevent fluid flowing in other areas of a device. Applications requiring these types of microscopic surfaces include: bacteria prevention, cellular adhesion, tissue adhesion, tissue or cartilage growth promotion, frictional drag reduction, wear reduction, and seal and barrier strength applications. These surfaces also no longer require secondary coating applications which prevent handling and possible surface contamination, simplify sterilization methods, and save device costs.
