Solutions for Medical Device Manufacturers.
Long development times and FDA (USA) , MHRA (UK) or TGA (AU) regulations often constrain the production design of a new medical device. Imtech have conducted Moldflow analysis to identify the optimum feed points or solve molding problems without compromising regulatory approved design.

Medical devices are often produced from exotic materials, fortunately the Moldflow includes extensive materials database and holds information on over 7500 different polymers and is expanding all the time.The database covers commodity materials to glass or carbon fibre filled engineered thermoplastics.

-
mould filling, cooling, holding phase, part warpage and shrinkage analysis. Gas injection, fibre orientation and core shift options are also available. A simulation highlights most quality problems including: - high fill pressure, short shots, weld lines, gas traps, high gate shear, poor cooling, long cycle times and distortion.
