Featured ProductPrecision plastic parts with micromachining
Micromachining lets designers and engineers create precision high-quality plastic components as small as 0.0008 in. and take a solid model or CAD drawing to a finished product in three to four weeks. Using multiaxis CNC and Swiss-screw equipment for prototype and short-run production, the company extrudes high-performance plastics, such as PEEK, PC, PEI, PES, PPSU, PSU, PPS, SRP, TPI, and LCP, into rod diameters, as machine-grade forms are difficult to find. Micromachining is a cost-effective solution during the initial stages of the product-development cycle, such as for medical devices for minimally invasive surgery. The devices often go through many design iterations before the final appearance and functionality of the product is complete. Visit Mikrotech

Parkinson’s research results in new treatments
Many people think of Parkinson’s disease (PD) merely as uncontrolled shaking or tremors. Yet, virtually all people with PD’s suffer from a wide variety of afflictions and symptoms, including bradykinesia (slow body movements), dyskinesia (uncontrolled body movements, e.g. flailing), impaired speech, dizziness, loss of the sense of smell, urinary incontinence, constipation, and muscle stiffness. Many times shuffling replaces normal gait and posture becomes stooped-over....
