Carbon’s MPU 100 (medical polyurethane) is a high-performance thermoplastic material designed for the healthcare industry. Its strength, durability, and exceptional chemical resistance make it an ideal choice for manufacturing medical equipment and devices.
The Carbon’s MPU 100 is manufactured using the unique digital light synthesis (DLS) process, which ensures precise control over the material’s properties, guaranteeing consistent quality across all parts. The material is also biocompatible and can be sterilized using various methods, including gamma and autoclave sterilization.
Overall, Carbon’s MPU 100 is an excellent option for healthcare professionals and manufacturers who require a reliable and high-performance material for their applications in the medical field.
MPU 100 Applications
Covers
Drug Contact Devices (Inhalers, Injectors, Dispensers)
Digital Light Processing (DLP) is a type of 3D printing that employs a UV-sensitive liquid resin cured through a digital light projector. Once the printing process is finished, our AM technicians thoroughly clean the part, remove any supports, and apply UV and thermal curing, if necessary.
DLP 3D printing is an ideal choice for projects that require high levels of detail and finishing in various production-grade materials. This technology can produce components with varying durometers and characteristics, ranging from supple silicone to rigid high-temp cyanate ester. It is beneficial for creating small end-use components, lightweight metal part replacements, functional, high-detail prototypes, jigs, and fixtures.
