Flexible to market Maturity

Vacuum casting for pain-relieving Innovation

STORZ MEDICAL AG introduced extracorporeal magnetotransduction therapy (EMTT) with MAGNETOLITH. 1zu1scale produced around a thousand high-precision vacuum-cast housings for the applicator, thereby supporting the pilot phase and market launch of the new medical device.

A reliable partner is crucial for new technologies such as EMTT. With 1zu1scale, we were able to implement near-series pilot production and optimally bridge the gap to injection molding production.

High-quality Visible Parts for the EMTT

The vacuum-molded housings form the outer shell of the Magnetolith applicator, protecting the technology, ensuring hygienic standards, and providing a professional appearance. Glossy white surfaces and pad printing with the logo round off the solution.

SCALE: One Process, many Advantages

Sketch

Design thought through from the outset

  • 1zu1scale was involved in the development of the MAGNETOLITH applicator from the very beginning
  • Consulting STORZ MEDICAL on design adjustments, tolerances, and surface requirements for vacuum casting
  • Goal: a near-series and reproducible solution from the outset

Check

Fit and function validated

  • Creation of 3D-printed prototypes for fit and function testing
  • Iterative optimization of geometry based on test results
  • Ensuring that the design is suitable for vacuum casting and series production

Approve

Molds fixed & approved

  • Precise silicone molds manufactured
  • Design freeze: no further changes to the product
  • Foundation laid for high quality and reproducible manufacturing

Launch

Pilot production set up

  • Careful post-processing, high-gloss finish, and pad printing
  • Production of more than a thousand components
  • Enabling near-series pilot production

Execute

Near-series production implemented

  • Foundation for quick adjustments and reliable production
  • Smooth transition to later injection molding series
  • Result: high-quality, reproducible components for market launch

A Result that is impressive

Together with STORZ MEDICAL, 1zu1scale produced the vacuum-cast housings for the Magnetolith applicator. The high-quality, precisely fitting components enabled a flexible pilot phase, supported the approval process, and paved the way for series production using injection molding.

Der Vakuumguss ermöglichte uns einen flexiblen Start mit dem Magnetolith, hochwertige Sichtteile und exakte Toleranzen. 1zu1scale lieferte Qualität, Termintreue und perfekte Kommunikation – damit war der Projekterfolg gesichert.
