Precision Molding for Medical Excellence

From implants to thin-wall catheters, the healthcare industry presents demanding use cases for plastic manufacturers.

The Multi-Cavity Balancing Act

Injection molding for medical devices must meet the highest standards of quality and precision. This means ensuring multi-cavity melt flow balance through uniform filling and pressure distribution in molds for syringes, IV components and inhalers.

Tiny Parts, Tight Tolerances, and Compliance

Small parts for catheters, implants, and surgical tools must meet strict tolerances and be free of defects to function properly. This requires exceptional micro-molding precision.

The Multi-Component Conundrum

2K molding with certified medical-grade materials is challenging—especially in hard-soft combinations like seals and flexible elements. Ensuring material compatibility and preventing insert deformation is crucial for meeting medical-grade requirements.

Hot Spots, Inconsistent Components

When runner systems aren't optimized, viscous heating effects can occur. The resulting imbalance in flow and cooling leads to inconsistent parts and inefficient production.

Molding for Compliance

To achieve FDA and ISO compliance and ensure patient safety, manufacturers need to consistently produce flawless parts that perform as intended, every single time.

Exceeding Medical Molding Standards

The Cadmould Flex ecosystem of injection molding simulation software empowers manufacturers to meet and exceed the exacting standards of healthcare applications. Working with the AI assistant Varimos AI, Cadmould Flex enables the cost-efficient production of complex, high-precision, and multi-component medical parts.

One Tool, Many Uses, Zero Surprises

Consistent quality across cavities isn’t optional. Varimos AI, the AI assistant for Cadmould Flex, efficiently optimizes your process to help you balance filling, pressure, and shrinkage behavior throughout a mold. You keep every cavity under control.

Small Parts, Maximum Control

Micro-molding precision starts with controlling shrinkage and warpage. Warp, a Cadmould Flex feature, accurately predicts even the slightest deformations in micro-scale geometries, while Unwarp applies targeted compensation for first-time-right results.

Multi-Material Precision Designed for MedTech

We know how challenging it is to mold with materials like PEEK, TPU, and silicone. That's why 2K & Insert lets you simulate filling, material interaction, thermal effects, and stresses to achieve reliable function from the first design.

Smarter Bearings. Smoother Flow. Durable Parts.

Cadmould helps optimize gating positions, runner geometry, and flow channels to minimize shear heating and ensure uniform filling and cooling. This results in more stable processes, accelerated cycles, and consistently high-quality parts.

Compliance Built Into Every Process

Regulatory adherence starts with validated processes. Varimos, the AI assistant for Cadmould Flex, provides detailed insights into process sensitivities and robustness to allow you to reduce variation and ensure audit-ready production, cycle after cycle.
