These materials were developed to help manufacturers of 3D molded interconnect devices (MIDs) using laser direct structuring (LDS) to meet critical requirements, such as high design flexibility, multi-function integration, miniaturization, and weight reduction.
Currently, 3D MIDs with LDS technology are widely used in antennas (consumer electronics), automotive components, medical devices, and 5G base stations.

The elastomeric material, used to overmold a cuff on the end of the hose, demonstrated inconsistent quality and subpar flow properties.
As a result of the system-based cost savings and improved supply reliability, the manufacturer made the decision to proceed with the Versalloy TPV, which is now used in the production of end cuffs for a variety of repeated-use surgical and respiratory hoses.
Cost savings: The hose manufacturer saves $33,000 per year by using Versalloy TPV instead of its previous material.
