MiamiOH OARS on 25 Oct 18NineSigma, representing a Global Leader in medical devices, invites proposals for technologies that can create micron scale structures on metal surfaces. The challenge is to obtain a robust micropatterned surface with a high aspect ratio that can maintain the surface characteristics in a high pressure, high temperature environment. The approach must be applicable to curved (non planar) metal surfaces. Microstructures on the surfaces of medical devices have many advantages for the various medical application. Surface patterning imparts critical functional features to the device, such as anti-fouling, hydrophobicity, adhesion, etc. The RFP sponsor is seeking innovations that allow creating precise microstructured patterns on non-planar metal surfaces.
