Imagine Your Design
With more than 20 years of plastics and prototyping experience, Pacific Plastics & Engineering has an extensive knowledge about materials and design that can help build the foundation for creating your medical device. Many of our clients come to PPE with merely an idea or sketches. We use a consultative process to help you decide part design, selection of prototype materials and finishes while we're thinking ahead as to how the device will be manufactured, assembled and packaged.
What We Diagnose
We'll discuss some of the following topics to better understand the project parameters:
- What is the product's end use?
- What is the primary function?
- What are the critical features?
- What materials have been considered?
- What are the cost drivers in the current design?
- Can we make recommendations to reduce total cost of this device?
- What previous successes or failures should we know?
Testing Your Design
If you're a medical device developer searching for the means to shorten the time between early product development and clinical trials, PPE can provide materials and processing combinations that result in prototypes and parts ready to pass USP Class VI testing for biocompatibility and cytotoxicity. Before you invest valuable time, energy, and capital into tooling parts for clinical trials, let your partners at PPE fabricate a production-ready rapid prototype for all of your testing needs.
Present Your Design
PPE can produce a testing or prototype product close enough to production ready, so that you can use it in pre-clinical settings. You'll have an actual, working part that's ready for focus groups, venture capital presentations or clinical trials.
Pick the Right Partner
Picking the right partner who is agile and responsive will yield large dividends such as improved design for manufacturability and assembly, resulting in a lower component or device cost. Benefit from reduced time to market by compressing development cycles and greater productivity - you have more time for designing and spend less time micro-managing.
