Services and Capabilities
Replacement Parts
DCE has the capability to offer replacement parts for all manufacturers’ suture attaching machines. For additional information, please contact our Customer Service Department at service@designconceptsllc.biz, by providing the model number of your machine we will be able to help you find the right part for the right machine, or upon request, we can send you a complete parts list.
Engineering
DCE uses CAD Systems to create 3D solid models of parts and assemblies to aid in the design of new products. When designs are finalized, technical drawings are created to be used in production & manufacturing. CAD Systems also allows the use of automation simulation & stress analysis.
We also use CAD compatable systems for programming our Mitsubishi Wire EDM. This allows us to simulate manufacturing before actually manufacturing the part. This results in us being able to cut difficult shapes, tapers, and pockets while optimizing manufacturing time & material usage.
Machine Shop
With a full service machine shop our team has various capabilities to manufacture virtually any process from micro parts on the Wire EDM, precision grinding and any milling application. Our machine shop has the ability to hold extremely tight tolerances, thus, no job is too big or too small for our employees.
Wire Department
Our Wire Department has the capability to produce a vast array of needle types, diameters and lengths. DCE's current list of expertise includes taper point, ball end and cut/blade needles. We are always looking to expand our knowledge base in the wire world. Let us make your idea a reality.
