Rapid Response Program
When timelines compress, your development partner matters.
The PlasticWeld Systems and Vante Rapid Response Program is designed to help you quickly evaluate catheter tipping performance, using real parts and tools based on your design to help prove feasibility.
Whether you’re validating a new design or evaluating temperature-controlled processes, we deliver samples that give you clear, actionable answers fast.
How It Works
Simple. Fast. Built around your application.
- Submit Your Request
Send your tubing, materials, drawings, or existing samples. Every project begins with a standard application assessment and Rapid Response request. - Application Review & Approval
Our engineering and product teams review your request to ensure the right process approach and define the scope. - We Run Your Samples
We produce parts using production-relevant tipping processes, optionally including temperature-controlled methods where applicable. - Samples Returned in ~2 Weeks
You receive production-representative samples in approximately two weeks, ready for testing and evaluation.
What You Receive
This program is focused on speed and clarity.
- 20 feasibility samples built from your design
- Cycle time data to understand possible through put
- Confidence in our equipment’s ability to help your team be successful
- No tooling included (samples only)
The goal is simple: give you real parts to evaluate performance quickly.
Built to Support Process Decisions
This program is designed to build confidence in your process—not just your design.
- Evaluate process consistency and repeatability
- Compare standard vs. temperature-controlled tipping performance
- Identify opportunities to improve yield and reduce variation
- Move forward with data—not assumptions
For customers exploring temperature control, this is a fast way to see the impact firsthand.
Supported Applications
We support a wide range of catheter tipping configurations, including:
- Tapers and bullet tips
- Flares and radiused edges
- Butt welds and neck-downs
- Tubes 3 Fr OD and larger
All samples are built to reflect your actual materials and design intent.
The Bottom Line
This isn’t just rapid prototyping.
It’s a rapid evaluation tool designed to help you:
- Validate performance quickly
- Build internal confidence
- Make faster, better process decisions
