Plastic Fabrication & Assembly
Hart engineers and manufactures plastic components for demanding medical applications. From standalone parts to complex assemblies, we design around your device's functional requirements, sterilization method, and clinical use, optimizing for both performance and manufacturability.
Engineering Plastics for Real-World Medical Demands
Hart selects and processes plastics based on how they will behave in use, not just how they look on paper. We consider mechanical strength, chemical exposure, sterilization compatibility, and ergonomic requirements to build components that support safe, reliable operation in the field.
Insert-Molded Solutions Tailored to Your Build
We combine metal and plastic features through precise insert molding that supports durability, repeatability, and consistent alignment. Our molding strategies reduce multi-step assembly costs, minimize weak points, and create reliable bonds between dissimilar materials.
Standard or Custom Molds Built to Your Requirements
Whether you need a unique mold or can leverage an existing design, Hart manufactures plastic components using tooling options that balance budget, speed, and scalability. We support rapid prototyping, low-volume test runs, and optimized commercial tooling for sustained production.
Need a Plastic Component That Must Perform Within a Larger System? Take It to Hart.
Plastic parts rarely function alone—they interact with metal components, fluids, adhesives, coatings, and end-user movement. Hart’s engineers evaluate every requirement early in the design process and shape the part to fit the complete device system. We help you avoid downstream challenges like bonding failures, poor ergonomics, assembly bottlenecks, excessive wear, or problems introduced by sterilization. The result is a part that works exactly as intended, not just on the drawing board.

Our Core Custom Capabilities
Hart offers end-to-end plastic fabrication and assembly solutions, including molding, swaging, bonding, insert molding, cleaning, packaging, and sterilization support. We manage plastic and metal features under one roof to ensure dimensional consistency and secure interfaces.

Engineered Plastic Options to Match Your Mechanical & Clinical Requirements
We help you select the best resin for strength, flexibility, lubricity, and sterilization response. From rigid medical-grade components to flexible cannula interfaces, we design with the clinical environment in mind—ensuring predictable behavior in demanding use cases.

Multi-Part Plastic Assemblies & Complex Builds
Hart engineers and assembles multi-component systems that combine molded plastics, tubing, metal elements, coatings, and ergonomic features. Our integrated production approach ensures alignment, bonding reliability, and strong inter-component performance across repeated production cycles.

Identification, Marking & Enhancements
We integrate functional and aesthetic enhancements such as color coding, textured grip features, branding marks, measurement indicators, and radiopaque or biocompatible additives. These details improve usability, support regulatory compliance, and reduce clinical error.
