Pressure Formed Surgical Imaging Technology To begin, ATI chose the pressure forming process to custom thermoform the parts for GE Healthcare’s OEC Elite Miniview C-arm. Importantly, we are able to yield sharp radii where the various parts fit together, using the pressure forming process. Next, we used multi-part assembly to form the completed part. This part requires a variety … Read more
Pressure Forming Process Used for Hospital Bed System We chose the pressure forming process to manufacture the MediGLIDER™ patient transfer system. This innovative patient transfer system was developed by ConMediSys. This lateral transfer system eliminates the need for heavy lifting in patient transfer. As patient transfers are a leading cause of workplace injury in hospitals and other … Read more
Pressure Formed Disposable Tray For Medical Industry This negative, pressure-formed part with large undercuts on both sides is manufactured for one of our medical customers. Additionally, this part has a very deep draw. The material is a tri-layerd HIPS extrusion, with a custom colored cap on both sides. Also, we use a “field-of-color” regrind … Read more
Pressure Forming to Manufacture Imaging Enclosure Pressure forming is the process we use to manufacture this multi-part medical imaging enclosure. We exhibit exacting tool construction in these female pressure-formed parts, thus creating uniform mating gaps. In addition, we have created molded-in openings. The material we have chosen for all GE Healthcare parts is an FR KYDEX® T material. Finally, … Read more
Three female pressure-formed parts with perimeter undercuts that provide for consistent mating of components along parting lines. Material is FR ABS. Parts are painted.
Female pressure-formed part displaying not only sharp, crisp radii around recess, but also an undercut formed without the “witness lines” normally caused by core-pulls. Material is custom colored FR ABS. Texture is molded.
Pressure Forming Process Used to Create Smoke Evacuator This pressure formed enclosure houses a smoke evacuation system for an electro-surgical procedure. The material is a fire-retardant ABS/PVC blend and is painted. The part demands a very severe draw-ratio to get plastic all the way into the bottom. The mold is a female mold with many … Read more
Twin Sheet Process Gives Added Support To Flooring Part This is a large Twin-Sheet part that is the floor of a wheelchair-compatible temporary shower. The twin-sheet process creates a part that is very strong, capable of withstanding the point-loading of a person in a wheel chair. Notice the detail on both the top and bottom surfaces. … Read more
Twin Sheet Flooring System for Animal Laboratories We designed and manufactured this large, 60″ x 121″ twin-sheet floor for use in modular animal laboratory environments. Additionally, we designed this part to be cut into smaller sections as the need arises. We used the twin sheet thermoform process to give the additional strength needed to handle the … Read more
Surgical Helmet Wins Twin Sheet Award We formed this award winning shell of a Surgical Helmet using Twin Sheet Thermoforming. Importantly, this helmet offers protection from fluids during operations. Additionally, we designed it to house a ventilating fan. It also includes a plenum running over the top of the head to distribute cooling to the face. As previously … Read more
