Do you need medical device prototypes or low-volume production parts to validate your design, materials, or overall concept? Is your medical device development stuck due to the complexity of parts that are difficult to CNC machine or injection mold? If you encounter these challenges in developing me Read More

One common defect in plastic injection molded parts is the sink mark, which appears as a dimple or shallow depression on the surface, affecting both quality and visual appeal. As a manufacturing supplier, we recommend addressing sink marks before they occur, rather than scrambling for solutions once Read More

Selecting the right material for new medical device development significantly impacts every stage of the device's life cycle—from design, prototyping, and testing to regulatory approvals, mass production, commercialization, and disposal. Each material offers specific characteristics that must align Read More

When you receive a sheet of metal, it may initially seem soft and easily bendable compared to solid metal blocks. Despite this apparent weakness, sheet metal is still widely used in automotive parts, enclosures, housings, brackets, and more. This is because sheet metal can be strengthened to suit va Read More

Developing medical devices is a complex and demanding process. From conceptualization to prototyping, trial production, and final commercialization, strict regulations and safety standards must be adhered to. However, compliance alone is not sufficient. To launch a successful medical device without Read More

Unlike traditional production methods, Zonze's on-demand, customized high-mix, low-volume manufacturing services offer design flexibility that mass manufacturing cannot. Additionally, the processes, tooling, and materials for low-volume parts are often less standardized than those for mass-produced Read More

The holes, slots, and depressions in plastic parts are essential for assembly, ventilation, and even adding aesthetic appeal to some products. These features are created by the core, the mold's protruding section. During injection molding, a core with excessive height or length endures greater impac Read More

How can you select the ideal service provider to transform your designs into actual products or prototypes? Focus on and verify these four key aspects when choosing a manufacturer. 1. What kind of manufacturing supplier are you looking for? When selecting a service provider to turn your designs into Read More

Embrace sustainability and cost savings with electric vehicles! Unlike conventional internal combustion engine cars, EVs operate on batteries, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and conserving energy. Although the upfront cost might be higher, the long-term financial benefits make it wo Read More

In the fast-paced medical device industry, staying competitive requires adopting effective design principles. One key approach is the "keep it simple, stupid" (KISS) principle, which promotes simplicity and reduces complexity in product design. By following this philosophy, designers can achieve gre Read More
