Understanding Molding Complexity to Reduce Device Complexity
As medical devices become ever more sophisticated and smaller in size, component manufacturers must adapt manufacturing processes to fit multiple functions into a limited space. A means of addressing this challenge comes in the form of multi-component Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) technology, which provides designers with the latitude and flexibility to enhance their applications.
Key takeaways of the webinar include:
- Learn how multi-component LSR technology can simplify application design and the assembly process
- Understand potential design challenges how they can be averted using multi-component molding
- Examine different methods of combining materials with injection molding
- Gain an understanding of the importance of involving silicone component manufacturers early in the development process (aid in selecting the right design layout and FEAs, prototyping support in your applications)
