Foundational Technology for Tomorrow’s Devices
Vactronix Scientific is a material science company with a mature technology platform, changing the way devices from medical to aerospace are designed, fabricated and assimilated.
Evolution is Revolution
Current medical device technology has not kept pace with the increasing refinement of the latest interventional methods requiring greater functional capabilities. The reliance on foundry-sourced materials, reductive manufacturing and extensive hand labor makes it impossible to go beyond certain miniaturization limits and maintain tight dimensional and functional tolerances. The inherent limitations become evident when devices made with traditional technologies are pushed into extreme engineering requirements.

At Vactronix, we have developed powerful technologies based on additive atomic buildup (bottom-up manufacturing) to replace the traditional top-down or reductive manufacturing. This approach allows us to advance bio-mechanical performance to new levels, and to control design and tolerances to micron scale. These objectives are made possible by replacing current conventional wrought alloys by high energy PVD synthetic materials. By controlling point-to-point heterogeneity in the material and its structural arrangement, it is possible to engineer bulk structure and surface features to sub-microscopic levels. These capabilities allow making superior devices with high performance properties. In our laboratories, sophisticated new alloys and materials engineering have pushed performance to unprecedented new levels and have enabled the creation of design geometries not possible using traditional means.
Your ideas. Executed.
Dream it.
Regardless of the size of your design team, Vactronix can quickly on-board engineers to take full advantage of higher resolution fabrication capabilities and higher material properties. Efficient in-house computational analysis, such as FEA, aid mechanical design requirements before the first prototype is even made.
Validate it.
Whether your device is undergoing early bench-top testing in-vitro or undergoing evaluation in an advanced clinical trial, you need a partner who understands your requirements. Our manufacturing efficiently scales to your needs and our ISO13485 provides compatibility and familiarity to your regulatory environment.
Prototype it.
We set a new standard to the term rapid-prototyping. Full vertical integration from the raw material development, characterization, device fabrication, and testing mean iterations happen quickly and efficiently. Ready. Set. Done.
Supply it.
Are you ready to supply the market? We are. Our technology allows seamless and scalable growth at any level — big or small! We can greatly simplify your supply chain and integrate with existing pieces in lockstep.
Vertically Integrated for Rapid Product Development.
From development of a new alloy to existing ASTM, Vactronix has everything you need to rapidly characterize, design, fabricate, test and validate your next big idea.
