Our manufacturing facilities select appropriate process control tools for the quantity of products being produced and customer requirements. Paragon Medical’s certifications include ISO 9001:2015 and AS-9100D. What are residual stresses? Residual stress forms when a product is welded, cut, cast or undergoes some other manufacturing processes involving heat or deformation. Residual stress may be beneficial or not, depending on the application. Our engineers will answer any questions you might have regarding product design, material selection or application. What is the development process for wire forms? Customers should involve our engineers during the development process for a wire form product. A slight change in an angle or radius can make a big difference in production times. It can even enable the part to be manufactured in a single operation, rather than in a process that includes costly and time-consuming secondary steps.
