Guide to Medical Device Prototyping Using 3M Tapes, Adhesives and Fasteners
By helping our Customers establish a detailed profile of exposures during the design stage, we substantially narrow the options in sourcing the right fastener materials. And it's that discovery phase that informs how we should convert the materials, what liners will be required, and if we can help assembly with creative use of colors and tabs.
In our 65 years, we found that the quickest teams spend time analyzing the interactions of environment and stresses combined with the chemistry of the materials being joined before even proposing a tape or adhesive.
That's where your Converting Partner comes in. They can act as subject matter experts if they are well versed in the 3M product lines and options available.
But they don't stop there. Making it all the way through production means designing for manufacturing. Factoring in the assembly infrastructure and processes are just as critical to understand if the device is to sail through production.
The most successful programs collaborate early with their converting teams. At Gleicher we spend time in the lab and on the assembly line - it's part of our job as your converting partner.
