J-Pac Medical, a leading manufacturing and packaging outsourcing partner, has added unique 3D printing capability to assist medical device and diagnostic companies further. This manufacturing technology enables J-Pac to produce end-use strong, functional prototypes of medical device components within hours.
Using a unique technology, J-Pacs produces functional components 1.4 times stronger than acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) as well as components that can replicate machined aluminum. The technology also allows J-Pac to supplement its in-house machine shop with quick-turn tooling capabilities.
“The manufacturing costs to produce end-use quality medical device plastic prototypes can be very high and involve long lead-times. Traditional 3D printing can be helpful to evaluate a part’s look and fit but lack the strength to properly evaluate functionality. J-Pac’s 3D printing services go beyond these limitations by producing extremely strong prototypes that can be used to evaluate the rigors that the final part would experience,” said Jeff Barrett, CEO of J-Pac Medical.
