Medical devices like MRI, CT scanners have either radiation effects or super strong magnetic effects to subjects around them. Metal parts can't be used due to these reasons. Pleasetic parts are widely used for MRI, CT devices. But thermoplastic materials have their own problems like short serving life, easy to climate ageing, etc. Nowadays fiber reinforced thermoset plastic materials like Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) are more and more widely applied to producing MRI, CT scanner housings, because it's stronger, longer serving life, and cost effective.
Further more, Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) material withstands radiation effects which can last for even longer.
Typical application include:
* MRI machine front end cover
* MRI machine rear end cover
* CT scanner front end cover
* Structural parts for medical devices
