Plastics play a crucial role in our lives. They appear in almost everything we use, from our cars, computers and televisions, to food packaging, toys and leisure goods. Plastics are incredibly useful yet, as society is becoming increasingly aware, are beginning to present a growing environmental threat.
As part of our ongoing commitment to the medical sector, we’ll be exhibiting at this year’s Med-Tech Innovation exhibition at the NEC in Birmingham. Our focus will be demonstrating how our latest innovations in injection moulding technology are helping customers bring products to market faster and more efficiently.
At OGM, we’ve a policy of continuous investment in the most advanced injection moulding, automation and production systems, as part of our goal to provide every customer with the best possible range of injection moulding, tool manufacturing and support services.
We’re now able to offer a comprehensive 3D scanning service. This enables us to help customers reverse engineer products and parts for injection moulding, and to carry out extensive analysis to assess dimensional tolerances and conformity.
As injection mould manufacturing processes have evolved, so too has the development of specialised technical engineering materials.
We’re always delighted when a member of our team – particularly those just starting out on their career – reaches new levels of excellence.
The recent Coronavirus pandemic has focussed the attention of companies throughout industry on the need to offer their customers or end-users enhanced protection from bacteria and viruses.
Many injection moulded parts and assemblies require the use of specialised materials or surface finishes that provide specific properties. These include the ability to control or prevent radio and electromagnetic interference: EMI and RFI.
A new medical-grade polymer, developed by Eastman Chemical, and recently made available on the UK market, looks set to create exciting opportunities for the development of medical device housings and equipment. The new Eastman Tritan MXF321 copolyester offers an interesting set of characteristics. The material is flame-resistant and withstands sustained exposure to over 30 different disinfectants and cleaning chemicals that are …
