Medical Molding FAQs

Here comes a short line about the the purpose of this section.

Custom injection molding is the process of creating unique plastic parts tailored to a client’s specifications. This method involves using specially designed molds to produce high-quality parts, often for industries like medical devices, diagnostics, and consumer goods.

Natech primarily serves the medical, pharmaceutical, and diagnostics industries, specializing in high-precision parts and assemblies. We also support other industries with custom injection molding needs, particularly when precision and quality are critical.

Natech’s capabilities include over 45,000 square feet of manufacturing space, 60 to 400 ton injection molding machines, ISO 9001 & ISO 13485 certifications, R&D molding, insert and over molding, scientific molding processes, and a Class 8 cleanroom for medical and diagnostic applications.

Medical injection molding is the process of manufacturing medical components and devices using specialized molds and plastic materials. This process requires stringent quality control and process optimization to ensure the final product meets medical industry standards.

Design for Injection Molding (DFIM) refers to the practice of optimizing a plastic part’s design to improve quality and efficiency during the injection molding process. Factors like wall thickness, gate location, and material choice all influence the success of the final product. Natech works closely with clients to ensure their designs are optimized for production.

With thousands of materials and combinations available, Natech assists clients in choosing the right material or material blend for their product. The selection impacts everything from part appearance and quality to functionality. We ensure the material fits the application’s requirements.

Scientific molding is a data-driven process that focuses on understanding and controlling each aspect of the injection molding process. By monitoring variables like temperature, pressure, and flow, Natech ensures consistent, high-quality production with minimal defects.

Natech uses 60 to 400 ton injection molding machines, all equipped with servo-driven robotics for high-speed automation. This allows us to produce plastic parts efficiently and at high volumes.

Natech operates a Class 8 cleanroom for producing sensitive medical and diagnostic devices. The cleanroom environment ensures products are manufactured in a controlled atmosphere, minimizing contamination risks and meeting industry cleanliness standards.

Natech has the capacity to support both low-volume R&D production and scale up to millions of parts for high-volume production. We help clients through the entire process, from prototype and proof of concept to large-scale manufacturing, ensuring efficiency and consistent quality.

Yes, Natech handles precision low-volume molding for R&D and prototype development, as well as scaling up to high-volume production. We partner with clients throughout their product lifecycle to ensure seamless transitions from development to mass production.

Natech is ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certified, ensuring that our manufacturing processes meet the highest standards for quality and consistency, especially in medical and diagnostic device manufacturing.
