Rapid Axis has been serving the Medical Device component manufacturing industry for some time both in prototyping and short-run production. We felt it was time to put together a short-list of Bio-Compatible (USP Class VI) and EtO sterilizable materials for ease of access by our Medical Device Engineers.
We hope this list serves you for the next time you require parts and that you’ll give us the opportunity to quote! If you have questions about these materials or require a quote email [email protected].
