As a specialized factory focusing on high precision electroformed molds for medical devices, we directly supply critical micro-channel component molds to medical device manufacturers, diagnostic tool producers, and microfluidic chip developers. Our core capability lies in crafting electroformed molds that replicate the tiny, intricate micro-channels (0.01–0.5mm width/depth) essential for medical applications—where fluid flow precision, surface biocompatibility, and dimensional accuracy directly impact diagnostic reliability and patient safety. By combining in-house electroforming expertise with direct supply, we eliminate middlemen to deliver molds that meet strict medical standards, from prototype to mass production.

Medical micro-channels (used in diagnostic chips, lab-on-a-chip devices, or drug delivery catheters) demand mold performance that generic machining can’t achieve—our electroformed solutions address three critical needs:

• Micro-Channel Precision: Even 0.005mm deviation in channel width can disrupt fluid flow, leading to inaccurate test results (e.g., in blood sample analysis). Our electroformed molds maintain ±0.002mm tolerance, ensuring uniform flow rates across all channels;
• Surface Smoothness: Rough micro-channel walls cause fluid turbulence or sample adhesion, compromising diagnostic accuracy. Our electroforming process delivers Ra ≤0.008μm mirror finishes, eliminating "dead zones" where samples might stagnate;
• Biocompatible Materials: Medical components require mold materials that won’t leach contaminants. We use high-purity nickel (ISO 10993-compliant) and copper-nickel alloys, ensuring the micro-channel parts produced are safe for contact with biological fluids.

Our electroformed molds are engineered to replicate the most complex micro-channel designs:

• Tight Tolerances: ±0.002mm for channel width/depth, ±0.005mm for spacing between parallel channels—critical for multi-assay diagnostic chips where reagent mixing ratios depend on precise flow;
• Complex Configurations: Perfectly replicates serpentine, branching, or 3D stacked channels (common in lab-on-a-chip devices) that CNC machining would distort or miss;
• Batch Consistency: Every mold in a production run matches the master design, ensuring micro-channel parts from the first to 100,000th unit perform identically—vital for regulatory compliance (e.g., FDA, CE).

We adhere to medical manufacturing standards at every step:

• Material Compliance: Molds use high-purity nickel (99.9% pure) or copper-nickel alloys tested to ISO 10993 (biological evaluation of medical devices), ensuring no toxic leaching into micro-channel parts;
• Cleanroom Production: Electroforming and finishing occur in Class 10,000 cleanrooms to avoid particulate contamination—critical for molds producing components used in sterile environments (e.g., IV catheters);
• Traceability: Full material certificates, inspection reports, and process logs support your regulatory submissions (e.g., FDA 510(k) for diagnostic devices).

As a factory direct supplier, we streamline your production:

• Rapid Prototyping: 7–10 days for prototype molds, with 24-hour design feedback to refine micro-channel layouts (e.g., optimizing corner radii for smoother flow);
• Scalable Production: From 1–5 prototype molds to 100+ mass production molds, with consistent lead times (15–20 days) to meet medical device launch schedules;
• Technical Collaboration: Our engineers work directly with your R&D team to optimize micro-channel designs for electroforming (e.g., adjusting draft angles to prevent channel collapse during demolding), reducing costly redesigns.

Our molds produce micro-channel components for:

• Diagnostic Devices: Lateral flow assay chips, PCR test cartridges, and blood sample analysis chips (where precise fluid flow ensures accurate results);
• Drug Delivery Systems: Micro-fluidic catheters and implantable drug release devices (where channel uniformity controls dosage rates);
• Lab-on-a-Chip Technologies: Portable diagnostic tools for point-of-care testing (where miniaturized channels enable compact, user-friendly designs).
