Plastic materials are widely used in medical devices industry. The applications of plastic injection molding range from surgical, diagnostic testing, drug delivery, geriatric care, self-treatment, preventative medicine, and etc. In recent years the development of plastic application in prosthetic device and invasive surgical instrument has drawn lots of attention due to its cost-effectiveness and better antiseptic. Due to delicacy and defect-free requirements for medical devices, quality control is the key for manufacture procedure. Also, because of the small part size, many medical devices are manufactured in multi-cavity injection molding to increase productivity. It is critical to have all cavities fill uniformly to ensure even products quality and high yield rate. Traditionally, trial-and-error method is applied to test and verify design. However, it results in long product manufacturing cycle time and high production costs. Moreover, many medical devices are made of fabricated components. To be fabricated seamlessly, warpage of each molded part should be controlled precisely. To overcome all the design problems within time and cost constraints is a great challenge for medical-device industry.
