Why voestalpine for Medical Injection Moulding?

High-Performance Tool Steels: Our powder metallurgically produced steels offer exceptional corrosion resistance, polishability, and wear resistance—ideal for producing moulds used in sterile and high-precision environments.

Surface Engineering: PVD coatings and micro-texturing protect mould surfaces from aggressive medical-grade polymers and enable integration of invisible, readable data like DIGIMARC watermarks.

Conformal Cooling & Variothermal Technology: These advanced thermal management techniques improve surface quality and dimensional accuracy while reducing cycle times by up to 30%.

Cleanroom-Compatible Moulds: Designed for use in ISO-certified cleanroom environments, our moulds support the production of FDA- and ISO 13485-compliant components.
