From an injection molding perspective, mold design and equipment selection ultimately determine whether or not those goals are achieved. Cost targets, projected volumes, the raw material required, and unique product features have impact on mold cavitation strategy, design of the gates and runner system, amount of automation within the mold, optimum tonnage of the molding machine, and the degree of automation in the de-molding process. The key question becomes: how can a product development team and sourcing personnel who are not expert in injection molding, best understand their options and make the correct choices in mold design?[\/vc_column_text]View Article<\/a>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” css_animation=”” css=”.vc_custom_1476328352241{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”15878″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=”” css=”.vc_custom_1476336557991{padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1476336572714{padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”]Reduce Time to Market by Leveraging Contract Manufacturer Expertise<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Medical device product development can be a lengthy and complex process.
