Vactronix Scientific Information

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.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.
