Abstract: An example method for manufacturing an object is disclosed. The example method includes determining the material composition of a base material, wherein determining the material composition of the base material includes determining the relative percentage of a first metal and the relative percentage of a second metal forming the base material. The method further includes selecting a common laser processing wavelength to be used in processing the base material. The method further includes processing the base material with a laser to form a processed material, the laser emits a laser beam matching the common laser processing wavelength during the processing of the base material and the material composition of the processed material is substantially similar to the material composition of the base material.

Abstract: A method of making a vascular occlusion device may include cutting a tubular member to form an expandable frame including a first hub integrally formed with the expandable frame adjacent a first end of the expandable frame, and a plurality of longitudinally-oriented struts extending in a direction opposite the first end; heat-setting the expandable frame to define an expanded configuration of the expandable frame; sliding a constrainment member over the plurality of longitudinally-oriented struts, the constrainment member being formed using additive manufacturing technology; fixedly securing the constrainment member to the plurality of longitudinally-oriented struts to define a second hub of the expandable frame; and cutting the plurality of longitudinally-oriented struts adjacent the constrainment member and opposite the first end relative to the constrainment member.
