Aptyx Booth #720 

Attendees can visit Booth #720 to learn how Aptyx’s specialized engineering and manufacturing helps OEM customers solve their tough fabrication challenges and bring mission-critical complex components and devices to market. Aptyx provides customers with single-source development and manufacturing solutions including a full suite of capabilities: D&D, extrusion, molding (injection, dip and blow molding), coating solutions, and assembly. The company also offers recently expanded expertise in transcatheter implants, complex catheters & delivery systems, and an ISO Class 7 footprint. 

“Our extensive experience in complex injection molding for medical devices, sets us apart in the design and manufacture of injection molding solutions for robotics, drug delivery, and minimally invasive surgery. This sophisticated expertise enables us to manufacture, for example, highly engineered precision gears for surgical robots,” said Gregg Tobin, President and CEO, Aptyx. “Ultimately, our success is driven by our people whose deep engineering expertise allows us to deliver superior solutions for our customers.” 

An area of interest to DeviceTalks attendees is robotics and the essential role gears play.  Aptyx is highly regarded for its skill in precision gears, drivetrains, and actuators — components that are particularly difficult to manufacture due to the complexity of meshing parts, strength requirements, tight tolerances, and other critical features. Aptyx’s proficiency in this field is so advanced that other molders frequently turn to them for gear production.
