Laser cutting in medical device design is a precise, non-contact way to cut materials. High-powered laser beams are effective for achieving consistency with extremely tight tolerances. Highly versatile, laser cutting works with multiple types of materials and produces minimal waste.
Let’s examine some of the key benefits of laser cutting in advanced material processing and medical device manufacturing.
Laser cutting is a precision cutting technology used in medical device manufacturing. It enables the creation of intricate shapes and complex geometries with micron-level accuracy. The result is clean, sealed edges that minimize the risk of contamination or infection—especially crucial for devices that come in direct contact with patients.
Laser cutting can be used on a wide range of materials, providing the versatility you need to choose the best material for your application.
Laser cutting is a versatile and efficient solution in medical device design, enabling rapid prototyping and small production runs, and it can be scaled for larger production. This technique is highly effective for creating small and intricate components, such as wearables, graphic overlays, and disposable medical devices.
Wearables benefit from the precision of laser cutting, ensuring a perfect fit and functionality. Graphic overlays and disposable medical devices require precise cuts and shapes, which laser cutting delivers, providing clean, sealed edges and complex designs.
Laser systems are used for a range of precision applications in medical converting, including cutting, seaming, marking, and engraving. For example, disposable medical devices benefit from laser cutting through precise holes and shapes, enabling custom designs and features. Graphic overlays also achieve high precision and durability through laser cutting.
One key advantage of laser cutting is that you can use it on a wide range of materials commonly used in medical devices, including:
