[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In the medical<\/a> and pharmaceutical industries<\/a>, the use of micro-drilled<\/strong> or, more broadly, micro-machined instruments<\/strong> is widespread for a broad range of applications<\/strong>. These techniques, grouped under the name of microfluidics,<\/strong> have started a revolution and have become a must in the research<\/strong> and production of active ingredients.<\/p>\n

Using the properties of fluids on a microscopic scale requires devices with pin-sharp precision<\/strong> to achieve the desired results. Mecasoft<\/a> has been building a fount of know-how and expertise over many years to support the medical industry<\/strong> by providing the best micro-machined components.<\/p>\n

Medical and pharmaceutical industries: the challenges of high-precision machining<\/h2>\n

The medical world<\/a> greatly benefits from devices that work on an infinitesimally small scale<\/strong>. One of the ongoing concerns in this industry is reliability<\/strong>. Delicate and sometimes risky handling (depending on the chemical substances used, for example) requires secure and reliable systems<\/strong> that leave no room for the unexpected. This applies in particular to the use of metal synthesizers rather than plastic ones.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the manipulations carried out demand optimised<\/strong> efficiency<\/strong>. Microfluidics also aim to reduce the cost of medical research<\/strong>. How? Through procedures carried out in continuous microscopic environments. These procedures avoid loss of material as may occur in batch processing. Moreover, microfluidics allow active ingredients to be validated on a small scale, thereby reducing the cost of experimentation.<\/p>\n

The benefits of medical micro-mechanics<\/h3>\n

Scientists do not convincing of the usefulness of these devices and their multiple applications to advance research in health-related fields. They also understand that the production of the components and profiles<\/strong> that make up these devices need to deliver extreme precision in the cutting and drilling of the materials<\/strong>. This is where micro-mechanics, as applied by Mecasoft, come into play:<\/p>\n
