From Print to Die in Three Weeks or Less
When NiCoForm electroforms your catheter tipping dies using NiColoy®, our trademark, high-strength alloy, you get:
- Quick turnarounds
- Significant cost savings
- Improved quality
NiColoy® is electroformed in a stress-free state on permanent or expendable mandrels. It features electromagnetic, thermal, strength and corrosion characteristics closely matching or exceeding those of stainless steel. The use of permanent mandrels significantly reduces per piece cost of the dies.
We achieve a high degree of polish on even the smallest (less than 2Fr) ID tip forming surfaces with excellent release properties. And by electroforming dies with a low but uniform wall thickness (down to .005”), we can significantly shorten heating and cooling cycles and increase throughput.
Complex configurations including balloon ends, multiple lumen dies, calibrated through-holes and integrated elements such as guide pins and mounting hubs are all possible with our process.
