Beahm Designs Inc. has announced the unveiling of an equipment showroom for medical device engineers. Following the opening of the Silicon Valley work room, teams of engineers, technicians, and manufacturing managers now have access to try user friendly, cost effective catheter manufacturing equipment.
 
The showroom is intended to create an individualistic experience to problem solving in a confidential, hands-on environment. Additionally, Beahm Designs’ personnel will teach catheter processing engineers new techniques for optimizing manufacturing processes and performance by way of increased yield and reduced cycle times. Beahm Designs’ founder Brian Beahm draws upon thirty years of medical device industry experience to assist manufacturers in identifying the right materials, process equipment and proper tooling for their unique requirements.
 
Currently outfitted with state of the art tube bonding platforms, the showroom will open each quarter featuring equipment to address specific manufacturing processes such as lamination, tip forming, tube flaring and necking, or tube reduction. The present display of tube bonding machines offers repeatability and strict control for balloon bonding, lap joints, butt joints, and resources needed for any tube bond application.
 
Beahm Designs’ CEO Anita Beahm stated, “We’re excited to offer hard working engineers with the opportunity to use their materials to test our equipment before committing, and to provide current customers with options to improve results. We offer the Try-Before-You-Buy experience as all too often manufacturers invest in equipment but don’t get the results their application requires. It’s important for us to collaborate with our customers, and sometimes that involves a hands-on approach.”
 
Beahm Designs’ Catheter Equipment showroom is now scheduling appointments for the tube bonding installation and will feature lamination equipment starting in August.
