The Challenge
A medical technology firm required durable, medical-grade enclosures for a new handheld diagnostic device. They were in the “bridge production” phase—they needed 500 units for clinical trials but weren’t ready to invest in expensive, permanent steel molds. They required a cost-effective solution that mimicked final production quality.
The Xingineer Solution
Process: Rapid Tooling (Aluminum Molds) & Injection Molding.
Execution: Our engineering team provided immediate DFM (Design for Manufacturing) feedback to adjust draft angles for better mold release. We fabricated aluminum molds, which are faster and cheaper to produce than steel.
Material: Medical-grade ABS/PC blend for impact resistance and biocompatibility.
Result: We reduced tooling costs by 40% compared to traditional steel molds and delivered the first T1 samples within 12 days. The client successfully launched their clinical trials on time.
