About This Project

Nitinol Devices and Components was founded in 1991, and has always been a leader in design, development, and commercialization of nitinol materials, components, and medical devices. Now as part of Confluent Medical Technologies, we have expanded to include medical balloons, catheters, precision polymers, textiles, and world class manufacturing capabilities. Science, publication, outreach, and education have always been a priority for us, and you can find many of our papers at the nitinol.com reference library.

Nitinol Design Concepts is an open-source, creative-commons spin on that tradition. Each topic in this series includes tech-brief style articles, as indexed on the front page. All of the related design files, results, code, and data can be found in the nitinol-design-concepts GitHub repository. These materials may be used, shared, and remixed according to the terms of the Apache 2.0 License and Creative Commons Attribution No Derivatives 4.0 International license, as described in LICENSE.md.

GitHub is a collaboration platform that is widely used for software development. You don’t need to know how it works to read or use the content here - just click on the links! We welcome your feedback and contributions. See CONTRIBUTING.md for more details on how you can help us improve these materials.
