Rimnetics provides custom reaction injection molding (RIM) solutions for medical device manufacturers developing large, complex equipment and specialized components. From initial design review through finished component production, we provide a single-source manufacturing solution tailored to your product requirements.
RIM uses lower-cost tooling than conventional injection molding, making it a practical option for large diagnostic equipment housings, imaging system covers, and specialized medical carts produced in moderate volumes.
RIM supports complex geometries, curved surfaces, variable wall sections, and integrated mounting features for housings designed around medical equipment’s internal electronics, displays, and mechanical assemblies.
Depending on the polyurethane system and part design, RIM components can provide impact resistance and structural rigidity to withstand routine equipment handling, movement, and transport in clinical, laboratory, and diagnostic settings.
RIM can incorporate mounting points, ribs, and other structural features into molded medical equipment housings to reduce separate components, hardware, and assembly steps.
RIM supports smooth, customized exterior finishes for diagnostic equipment, imaging systems, and medical carts—and Rimnetics offers in-house painting, machining, trimming, and assembly to meet product specifications.
Medical device enclosures and housings provide an exterior structure for equipment that contains electronics, mechanical systems, and other internal components. RIM molding supports large, complex enclosure designs with integrated structural features, customized exterior finishes, complex curves, and variable wall sections. These components can protect internal assemblies while contributing to the overall structure and appearance of a product. Potential applications include specialized medical machinery, diagnostic systems, and other devices that require custom enclosure geometry.
Medical carts combine functional design, structural support, and durability. Depending on the design, molded components can contribute to the cart’s exterior structure, equipment housing, and integrated features. Potential applications include mobile medical equipment carts, diagnostic equipment carts, dialysis water treatment carts, specialized carts for medical and scientific equipment, and custom-molded cart housings and structural components.
Diagnostic and imaging systems incorporate large exterior panels and structural covers around complex internal equipment. RIM molding can support these designs through custom geometry, large-part manufacturing, and opportunities to integrate multiple features into fewer components. Potential applications include diagnostic analyzer housings, CT equipment covers, PET equipment covers, mammography equipment covers, and laboratory and sample analysis equipment housings.
Some medical equipment designs require components that do more than provide an exterior cover. Structural molded parts can support assemblies, incorporate mounting features, and contribute to the overall architecture of the product. RIM can support custom components designed around specific load, geometry, and integration requirements. Rimnetics works with manufacturers to evaluate whether RIM can meet their structural and manufacturing objectives.

RIM encapsulation and overmolding integrate selected components into molded polyurethane parts, helping protect internal hardware and reduce assembly steps in medical equipment designs. Applications include:
Rimnetics reviews CAD files to evaluate manufacturability, refine part designs, and identify opportunities to control tooling costs before production begins. Our capabilities address:
Rimnetics offers in-house finishing and assembly services to prepare molded medical equipment components for integration into the final product. Available capabilities include:
Material selection plays an important role in the performance, appearance, and manufacturability of medical equipment components. The right material depends on the part’s structural requirements, weight, impact exposure, surface finish, and intended operating environment.
Rimnetics can help you choose approved materials for medical device applications, including relevant polyurethane systems, material properties, available finishes, and any verified compliance or testing information.
