A Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Prototype material suits hygienic applications from Stratasys, which we summarised at the time by saying "ABS-M30i is up to 67% stronger than standard Stratasys ABS and bonding strength between layers is more than doubled, expanding capabilities for functional testing or manufacturing production parts. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Adhesive meets medical device needs from Intertronics: "DYMAX MD 1161-M is a light curing adhesive that provides a single solution for all the bonding needs of medical device designers.".
 
In January 2007, we covered the news from Invibio - take a look at Polymer ensures sensor's chemical resistance which says: "Endress+Hauser Conducta has selected Invibio Peek-Classix polymer for a sensor specifically developed for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from VTC TPE Group, Investment expands clean thermoplastics output, as well as Novel resin reduces weight for healthcare from GE Advanced Materials, and Microscopic particles provide embedded security from Microtrace.
