THE LONG WAY FROM MOULD DESIGN TO A PRODUCTION TOOL   When choosing a contract manufacturer who can offer injection moulding of components, its important to choose a partner that has the capability to enhance the quality of production for your device, as well as offering in-house tool manufacture.   Here at Forefront Medical Technology we use mould flow analysis, a simulation technique that predicts the flow behaviour of plastic material during injection moulding. Identifying potential defects such as warpages, sink marks, and air traps before the mould is produced saves time and money by optimizing the mould design and process parameters.   Simulating the flow behaviour of plastic material helps identify potential issues and optimize the mould design and process parameters, making it an essential step in the injection moulding process. The benefits of mould flow analysis in injection moulding include improved part quality, reduced cycle time, and cost savings.   Mould flow analysis helps identify defects such as warpages, sink marks, and air traps before producing the mould. Optimizing the mould design and process parameters ensures that the parts are high-quality and defects-free. Mould flow analysis also helps to reduce the cycle time of the injection moulding process by optimizing the injection speed, pressure, and cooling time, resulting in higher production efficiency and lower costs, whilst also identifying potential issues before the mould is produced, thus avoiding the need for expensive rework and modifications.    If you'd like to know more about our Injection Moulding capabilities at Forefront Medical Technology, and how we can add value to your projects, please visit our stand at MEDICA - Leading International Trade Fair - COMPAMED Hall 8b / Stand E34-01

Assembly of medical fabrics, films and textiles is one of Arrow Medical’s special skills, including medical device projects under ISO EN13485:2016. Complex products have been produced using precision fabric assembly techniques allied to RF welding, precision cutting, punching, multi-layer assembly and forming. A wide range of materials can be assembled using semi-automated sewing machines and RF welding stations, with capacity extending from 1,200 by 900mm to 220 by 60mm, with power outputs of between 3 and 15 kW. This allows polyesters, PVC, polyurethane, flame bonded laminates and films to be assembled, sewn and/or welded into complex sets to our customer’s specification. Arrow Medical, part of the Forefront Medical Technology group, is one of the few RF welding companies in the UK accredited for medical device assembly.  RF welding services can be integrated with any or all of our other manufacturing capabilities, including screen printing, die-cutting, sewing and many more, to give you an end-to-end solution of the greatest quality. We are equipped to handle requests of any size, from prototype to mass production. https://lnkd.in/gnxUcRhr #textile #13485 #contractmanufacturing
