Nitinol Processing
Nitinol (NiTi), is a unique, specialty material used in complex implants and delivery systems for structural heart, peripheral vascular, and non-vascular devices.
Heraeus Medevio is recognized worldwide for its metals expertise and the engineering innovation to handle the most complex technical challenges for our customers.
Leverage our NiTi design and processing expertise including laser cutting, shape setting or heat treating, and electropolishing. This mastery of materials, combined with our design and development capabilities and end-to-end vertical integration, will help bring your interventional device to market faster.
Whether your design is an intricate and complex part with a tight tolerance in early concept or design freeze, we can make cost-effective parts to your specifications in prototype and production quantities. In addition to laser cutting of tube materials (both on-axis and off-axis), we also offer laser cutting of small parts from flat materials up to .050” thickness.
Material Sizes for Laser Cutting
- Material (Wall) Thickness = .002” - .050”
- Tubing Diameter = .008” - .700” O.D.
- Flat Cutting: small parts only, up to roughly 3” x 5" maximum dimension
Cut Width (Laser Kerf Width)
- Thin Wall Materials (.002” - .005”) Kerf = .0006” - .001”
- Thicker Wall (.006” and larger) Kerf = .0008” - .004”
