White Papers and E-Books

One of the biggest advantages of automation is the transformation that comes with impacting the human process, allowing talented professionals to focus on higher-value, essential needs. This benefits everyone involved, producing greater employee performance and increasingly efficient production delivering cost-effective production of device components. Today you will see robots and co-bots and other automation tools throughout our facility. We take immense pride in our automation leadership. This ebook is a collection of topics that highlight advantages of enhancing automation that can transform your business processes.

Download our ebook to learn more about profile tolerancing, which is a critical practice of precision GD&T, and how using precision GD&T can reduce inspection time.

In this piece, you will understand why a design intent strategy is important, as well as how standards and processes like ASME Y14.5M 2009, Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T), and critical feature confirmation can enhance manufacturing and lead to better results.

In this white paper, we share seven project management tips that have helped us decrease lead times on complex projects by 50 percent. These can be implemented by both OEMs and their suppliers to enhance device delivery, improve communication and build relationships.

Realizing our customers’ design intent is one of our goals with any project. To share more about how a design intent strategy can improve the product development process, we created the white paper, “Improve Device Development with a Clear Design Intent Strategy.” Download the white paper now to learn more about what’s included in design intent discussions, and how GD&T paired with 3D solid models can clarify design intent and improve device development.

Metrology matching, also called inspection matching, is a leading way to solve this issue. The process aligns two separate inspection systems, one from the OEM and one from the supplier. This ensures that everyone is on the same page for inspection and measurement, even if they use different equipment and measurement methods.

Critical feature confirmation (CFC) helps design teams determine which medical device features are critical so they can streamline the design, review and quality control processes. Download this white paper to learn more about this process and how it can help you improve design and testing of a new medical device.

Ensuring your engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams are aligned is critical to successful medical device development. Then why are there still so many issues with design intent not matching the parts created? Learn more about critical steps in the GD&T process and ASME Y14.5M 2009 standards to improve your outcomes.

Precision geometrical dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) and profile tolerancing are key design methods to accelerate a medical device’s time to market by reducing inspection time. This white paper explores the positive impact that these methods has on three types of inspection: setup, in-process and final.

This white paper about statistical methods in precision machining offers an overview of how to use data to reduce critical features, create a design of experiments and how to recognize if your current supplier has the equipment and skill sets to fully utilize manufacturing data to advance your projects.
