Donna Bibber Speaking At MD&M BIOMEDigital

Donna Bibber Speaking At MD&M BIOMEDigital

Events, Isometric
Donna Bibber Speaking At MD&M BIOMEDigital Isometric's CEO, Donna Bibber, is a selected industry leader and speaker at MD&M's BIOMEDigital event. Her presentation, scheduled from 11:30-12:oopm CST on April 6th, covers risk mitigation strategies that prevent micro-molding program failures. Most importantly, she'll discuss how overcoming early technical challenges impact the reduction of costly, late-stage development project failures. Ms. Bibber's presentation was done in collaboration with Isometric’s team of subject matter experts, which have a combined industry experience of over 95 years. The compelling presentation will highlight a recent case study that demonstrates the necessary micro-molding solutions for miniaturized device applications. This technical and solutions-based presentation includes a case study from DMF through production, using micro molding and associated tooling, assembly, and CT Scanning for: • Wall thicknesses down to 50…

Micro Giants: Micromolding for Medtech

Micro Giants: Micromolding for Medtech

Articles, Isometric
Micro Giants: Micromolding for Medtech Medical Product Outsourcing article featuring Isometric Micro Molding, Inc. Micromolding for medtech is becoming serious business. The medical industry’s demands are continually challenging suppliers and manufacturers to stretch their technical competencies into areas where they may fear to tread. Doctors and surgeons urge instruments for less invasive procedures and quicker recovery times, devices are shrinking and becoming more complex, and designers seek out smaller, high-precision components with materials and tolerances that years ago were deemed impossible. To further advance minimally invasive device designs and reduce part sizes, manufacturers are turning to micromolding. By definition, micromolding is an injection molding process, but the manufactured components require magnification to view details on or within the part. It can also be defined as parts with sizes or tolerances…

Micro Scale Manufacturing

Micro Scale Manufacturing

Isometric, News
The Big Trend For Small Devices is Drug Delivery One day in the late 1980s, Donna Bibber looked over the shoulder of a “mad scientist” colleague at Corning Life Sciences – he was working on lab-on-a-chip technology, and Bibber realized that it could be a game-changer. She is now Vice President of Isometric Micro Molding, which addresses the growing market need for expertise in device miniaturization. Isometric specializes in making and assembling tiny components, primarily for medical device companies. Some of the work is quite experimental – only around one approach in ten gets taken to the next level – and, as Bibber puts it, they have to “kiss a lot of frogs.” Bibber divulges the current trends and challenges in the world of the production of micro-scale drug delivery…

Secrets of Success in Micro Molding – Part 1

General, Isometric, News
Secrets of Success in Molding - Part 1 Medical-device, electronics, and biopharmaceutical manufacturers need new micro-molded products to create tinier, less invasive, and/or space-saving micro devices. Micro-molded components can be as small as dust specks and/or have features that small. State-of-the-art micro parts can have molded features such as dimples around 3 microns in depth and diameter—more than 80 million of them across a surface the size of a microscope slide. The tiniest parts in an assembly are the ones most likely to be a challenge and are also usually the enabling component of the entire device’s form, fit, and function. Similarly, micro tooling created by micro machining is critical to these parts ever making it to validation. Many new advances in micro-machining technology are enabling the design and manufacturing…

Proven Process for Extreme Precision Micro Devices and Implants

General, Isometric, News
Isometric Micro Molding is the only micro molding company in the world with 4 in-house key capabilities for successful micro molding: Micro mold building, Micro molding, Micro Automation, and CT Scanning Metrology.  These are the four key factors for controlling quality and delivery for micro molding and assembly success. This blog will cover all four elements over time to help the reader with risk mitigation of micro molding devices. Our first blog series will focus on the micro mold design and build. High volume micro molding requires a specialized and proven process before the first plastic pellet is melted. Plan, plan, plan, execute is key to each micro molding project’s success. Talking about the mold isn’t always a comfort zone for those seeking micro molded plastic parts, however understanding the…
