CP Cases is able to fully test cases to demonstrate that the contents can be protected from shock, water ingress or vibrations. Baxter required the Homechoice unit to be subjected to a maximum level of g force if dropped by the patient. The case had to attenuate the maximum g-force experienced.

The second internal skin of the case was shaped exactly to the Homechoice unit, creating a perfect fit. This internal shape was then insulated and padded using high density foam, providing impact and vibration protection.

Baxter’s Homechoice system is designed to perform automated peritoneal dialysis (APD). The product is especially suitable for use at home, due to its small size, ease of use and unobtrusive, non-medical appearance and its simplicity and portability also make it convenient for patients when they travel.

Utilising a custom rotomoulded polyethylene case combined with foam inserts proved to be the winning solution. Rotomoulded cases offer exceptional strength to weight ratios and the plastic is resistant to temperature variations and solvents. The cost to produce rotomoulding tools are significantly cheaper than injection moulding tools, making custom-built, high quality plastic cases cost effective in low production runs of a few hundred units.

Baxter International Inc. develops, manufactures, and markets products for people with haemophilia, immune disorders, infectious diseases, kidney disease, trauma, and other chronic and acute medical conditions. The company operates through three segments: bioscience, medication delivery, and renal. The renal segment provides products to treat end-stage renal disease and irreversible kidney failure. This segment also offers solutions and other products for peritoneal dialysis, a home-based therapy and product for haemodialysis, which is conducted in a hospital or clinic.

Polyethylene is easy to clean and has zero fungal growth, making it ideal for medical equipment and CP Cases designed a tool that would allow the exterior of the case to look and feel like an ordinary suitcase, meeting the customer requirement of a discrete appearance.

FlyerRack is a product that leverages both a 19" rack chassis and lightweight injection molded case. It was designed by CP Cases engineers for on-the-go individuals who require protection of standard 19" rack equipment without the bulkiness and weight of a metal or polymer based 19" transit case.

MatterHackers Quantum PLA is your filament of choice to create the most striking, visually magnificent 3D prints possible. Every color option actually includes a blend of two different colors, both of which will feature on your finished print. By rotating the part to a different orientation you can completely change the visible color. You want your 3D prints to be the most beautiful possible, and MatterHackers Quantum is the most beautiful 3D printer filament on the market.

CP Cases’ engineers and design team had frequent meetings with Baxter to develop a system that met the requirements for the project, and during the course of the consultation period, the design process went through many stages from sketching ideas to creating 3D models and prototyping, before taking the best solution to the final design stage, one that exceeded Baxter’s expectations.

Here at MatterHackers, we are always searching for new ways to find success with 3D printing, sometimes that means functional parts with very strong materials, and sometimes that means beautiful aesthetic parts whose key feature is the smile it puts on our faces. Quantum is the first material in a long time that had us both mesmerized by its beauty and inspired by its capabilities. We have been printing with it for a while, but what excites us the most is what you are going to print with it. Don’t miss this opportunity to be one of the first people to print with this new material and be part of the evolution of 3D printing.

Discretion about the contents was also a consideration; due to the sensitivity of their medical condition, patients did not want to make it obvious that they were transporting a dialysis machine, especially when travelling through public areas.

MatterHackers Quantum PLA is a filament that creates beautiful, visually striking 3D prints. It is available in 1.75mm and 2.85mm diameter, and is compatible with virtually any FDM 3D Printer.

Made-in-USA enclosures are built to heavy duty NEMA Standards, specifically NEMA 4 (indoor/outdoor use) and NEMA 4X (indoor/outdoor use and corrosion-resistant). ELV1 19? Rack-Mount Enclosures are produced from high quality steel (powder coated) or stainless steel (Type 304 or 316).

Quantum is PLA, available in 1.75mm and 2.85mm diameter, and not abrasive in any way, making it compatible with virtually any FDM 3D Printer. If you are a seasoned veteran of the 3D printing community or an absolute beginner, you can take advantage of color-shifting Quantum today. No other filament brings together the blended dual-color effect of MatterHackers Quantum, letting you create dichromatic prints on a single extrusion 3D printer without any modification. No matter where you are on your 3D printing journey, experience color reinvented with Quantum.

Wheel cavities are moulded into the case for attaching standard suitcase wheels, to facilitate easy transportation of the dialysis machine, in the manner of a suitcase from hospital to home or anywhere else the user needed to take the unit.

As a result of this simplicity, the unit needs to be safely and easily transported from hospitals to the patient’s home, either by themselves or via commercial delivery companies and the case needs to offer exceptional drop and impact protection for the valuable contents which are vital to the patient’s wellbeing.
