Engineering Resources

Technical guides, design notes, and RFQ checklists to help you streamline component sourcing and prototype validation.

Engineering Sourcing Workflow

Use these resources at critical gates in your component sourcing journey:

Design Phase: Consult the Design Notes and Material Guides before finalizing prints.
RFQ Phase: Use the RFQ Checklist to ensure complete data packages are sent to suppliers.
Audit Phase: Use the Supplier Checklists to verify a factory's quality management and technical limits.

A structured checklist for preparing medical hypotube RFQs to ensure rapid and accurate supplier quoting.

Best practices for designing spiral and slotted laser cut patterns for optimal flexibility and manufacturability.

Key parameters to evaluate when selecting a nitinol tubing or component contract manufacturer.

Comparing Platinum-Iridium, Tantalum, and Gold for radiopaque catheter marker bands.

Resource Guide	Primary Target Audience	Core Focus	Why It Matters
Hypotube RFQ Checklist	Sourcing managers and R&D engineers preparing drawing packages.	Quote Time	Complete data prevents endless clarification loops.
Laser Cut Hypotube Design Notes	R&D engineers designing steerable or flexible metal tube components.	Minimum Kerf	Defines how fine the pattern can be.
Nitinol Tubing Supplier Checklist	Procurement and quality teams auditing nitinol suppliers.	AF Tolerance	Ensures reliable in vivo deployment.
Marker Band Material Selection Guide	Catheter designers balancing cost and visibility under fluoroscopy.	Density (Pt/Ir 90/10)	Higher density allows thinner walls for the same visibility.
