APPLICATION 1: OMNIPOD CHASSIS “We had challenges plating the chassis, which was a second shot to the lower housing without overstating the first shot,” said Clare. “RTP Company’s compound gave us better control of the plating process by providing a wider processing window. This ability to tailor materials ideally suited to our needs is what will help make the OmniPod successful.” OmniPod has been successful with Insulet receiving multiple awards, such as the 2006 Medical Design Excellence Award.

APPLICATION 2: HOUSINGS Circuit patterns can be applied directly onto plastic housings and components in two and three dimensions. 3-D patterns can be applied with lines and spaces down to 0.005 inch (0.127 mm) with a resolution of 0.001 inch (0.025 mm). Cybershield, Inc. is a subsidiary of Elk Corporation. Based in Dallas, TX Cybershield is an industry leader in the design and manufacture of metallized plastic engineered solutions for electronic equipment OEMs. For more information, visit their website at www.cybershieldinc.com.
