Custom thermoformed medical device plastic components on a manufacturing floor

Our Medical Device Contract Manufacturing Services

Comprehensive thermoforming and fabrication services tailored for medical device OEMs—from prototype to high-volume production.

Vacuum Thermoforming

Custom vacuum thermoforming for medical device enclosures, trays, and OEM components using eight thermoforming machines. Supports both small and high-volume runs with precise, repeatable results to exact drawing specifications.

Prototyping

Rapid prototype development using low-cost wood or polyurethane tooling. Master patterns are CNC-milled to print specifications, enabling fast design review and functional evaluation before committing to production tooling.

Mold Making & Tooling

Custom molds and production tooling from aluminum castings, polyurethane, and precision wood materials. Supports prototype, pre-production, and full production phases with easy design adjustments throughout the process.

CNC Trimming & Cutting

Precision CNC trimming and cutting to finish thermoformed medical parts to exact specifications. Two 5'x10' CNC trimming centers deliver clean edges, accurate dimensioning, and assembly-ready components for medical applications.

Plastic Fabrication

Full-service fabrication including precision drilling, heat bending, bonding, fastener installation, and edge finishing. Produces finished medical device components to specification in any quantity while minimizing tooling charges.

High Volume Production

Scalable production from short runs to thousands of parts using a 4'x7' rotary thermoforming machine—2.5x faster than single-station equipment. All parts quality-controlled for appearance and print specifications at competitive pricing.
