Project: Blood Testing Instrument Manufacturer

Problem: Device re-design resulted in issues with the ability to manufacture the key part of the instrument. Existing vendor base would not attempt to manufacture.

Material: Tungsten

Critical Dimensions:
Resolution: A manufacturing process was developed that not only resulted in the ability to make the part, but withstood two part revisions that tightened tolerances to give the device an even higher level of function and reliability.

Grinding discipline(s) that contributed to resolution:

Project: Heart Valve Clip Locking Pin

Problem: The extremely small size of the part, critical to affixing a clip to a defective heart valve, resulted in manufacturing difficulties, and unacceptable inconsistencies in holding the required part tolerances.

Material: Elgiloy

Critical Dimensions:

Resolution: a manufacturing process was created that yielded 95% success rate. Project was able to move forward into clinical trials and is currently seeking FDA approval.

Grinding discipline(s) that contributed to resolution:

Project: Pace Maker Project

Problem: In a patent race with competitors, this company needed a rapid prototype of a newly designed part. Parts needed to be manufactured complete and shipped in one week.

Material: 304 SST

Critical Dimensions:

Resolution: Parts were manufactured in time, but when a shipping SNAFU occurred, and it was evident that the "drop dead" delivery date was going to be compromised, M&S re-acquired the package from the shipping company, put a representative on a plane and personally flew it to the customer the same day!
