Commonly Asked Questions

What's your approach to Design for Manufacture (DFM)?

When it comes to Design for Manufacture (DFM), we understand that efficiency is king. Our team of highly experienced DFM engineers will listen to your needs and create an intelligent, innovative, and systematic design that is optimized for manufacturability.

What is Low Volume manufacturing?

Low-volume means different things to different companies. At KDI, low volume means projects with annual quantities in the 10’s – 100’s – or 1,000’s. Many larger contract manufacturers require an individual project to have revenues of several million dollars per year. KDI’s niche business model supports annual project revenues below that of larger contract manufacturers.

What does it mean to be “ISO 13485 Registered?”

ISO 13485 is the international quality standard for the design and manufacture of medical devices.

  • Complying with all regulatory requirements
  • Utilizing and maintaining an effective Quality Management System
  • Applying streamlined and appropriate processes
