CASE STUDY! Medical Bushing NDIS

 The client approached us with a stereotypical injection molded piece which was prone to snapping off at the ends. The solution was tested with Polylactic acid filament and it was found that acrylonitrile butadiene styrene was a more favorable option as it can be chemically smoothed and hardened.
