Scientific Probes - Pure Platinum

These tiny circular components measuring less than 10mm in diameter were designed for use in specialist medical measuring equipment.

Again, Pure Platinum was specified as the right material, as the hostile working conditions involved high temperatures and the need for very accurate electronic monitoring.

We created the CAD model from the clients’ technical drawings and in this case we thought the parts would not replicate well enough from our usual rubber moulds. So we decided to have steel moulds made direct from our CAD files and produce the parts in plastic by injection moulding.

With careful control of the burnout cycle we successfully ‘lost wax cast’ batches of components in Pure Platinum.
