| Core Capabilities | Our Approach | What it Means For You |
|---|---|---|
| NPI | Dedicated NPI team executing ViaLaunch™ methodology and 3P events, with cross-functional resources (PM, NPI Manager, QEs, MEs, Buyer) aligned from kickoff through production release. | New programs move from concept to validated production with fewer surprises, tighter timelines, and lower launch risk. |
| Program Management | Program management support grounded in EPMO and PMBOK® best practices, with Lean and Six Sigma principles embedded throughout. Viant’s team aligns to program goals, proactively manages risk, and maintains clear communication at every stage. | Clear ownership and proactive risk management from kickoff through delivery that supports audit readiness. |
| Tube Welding & Drawing | In-house TIG welding with 100% eddy current testing, producing scratch-free surfaces inside and out with no welding fragments. Drawing benches handle welded and seamless tubes with ODs from 0.15mm to 28mm, wall thicknesses from 0.03–2.50mm, and tensile strengths from 500–1,800 N/mm². | Tube stock is produced and verified at the source, with full control over dimensional accuracy and material properties from the first step. |
| Tube Fabrication & Cutting | ECM cutting, wire EDM, and laser cutting for burr-free precision. Validated cutting processes with intensive monitoring. Forming, shaping, and cutting to lengths as short as 1mm. | Components arrive ready for downstream assembly without secondary deburring, reducing handling steps and protecting sensitive geometries. |
| CNC Machining & Automation | Fully automated machining supported by robotic arms for damage-free handling. 100% in-line optical test system verifies geometries during production. CNC turning and laser welding capabilities on-site. | Repeatability is built into the process, not dependent on manual skill — critical when volumes increase or tolerances tighten. |
| Surface Finishing | Grinding, vibratory finishing, sand blasting, e-polishing, passivation, and laser marking. Surface roughness values achievable below Ra 0.50 µm, down to Ra 0.15 µm in some cases. | Finished surfaces meet the cleanliness and smoothness requirements for implantable and fluid-path applications. |
| Ultrasonic Cleaning & Passivation | Comprehensive cleaning solutions tailored to customer requirements, from dedicated solvent-based cleaning and advanced aqueous processes to CNp-technology for high-purity applications. Supported by an ISO Class 8 cleanroom environment with continuous monitoring and final inspection to ensure exceptional cleanliness and quality. | Tubing is delivered clean to pharma standards, ready for use in drug delivery and other fluid-path applications without additional cleaning steps. |
| Inspection & Cleanroom Packaging | Validated, fully automated optical inner lumen control. Specialized inspection of tube interiors, exteriors, and endings for scratches, fragments, burrs, and abnormalities. Cleaning, inspection, and packaging under GMP Class D cleanroom conditions. Sub-assembly capabilities. | Every tube is inspected before it ships, and packaging happens in a controlled environment that maintains the cleanliness you need. |
