3G Shielding Specialties to Exhibit Medical Electronics Shielding Solutions at MD&M Midwest 2026
Sep 19, 2026
3G Shielding Specialties will exhibit at MD&M Midwest 2026 on October 28–29 at the Minneapolis Convention Center, Booth 2745. The company will discuss EMI/EMC challenges, lightweight shielding designs and application-specific engineering support for medical electronics.
St. Petersburg, United States, September 19, 2026 -- 3G Shielding Specialties will exhibit at MD&M Midwest 2026, taking place October 28–29 at the Minneapolis Convention Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The company invites medical device designers, electronics engineers and manufacturing professionals to visit Booth 2745 to discuss advanced shielding solutions for medical electronics, with a focus on electromagnetic interference control, lightweight designs and application-specific engineering support.
Attendees can register as guests of 3G using invitation code INVITE951232 for a 20% discount on conference passes and/or a free expo pass. Registration is available through the MD&M Midwest website. The invitation gives engineering and purchasing teams an opportunity to explore shielding options while connecting with suppliers and professionals from across the design and manufacturing community.
Addressing shielding requirements in medical electronics
The company’s participation will focus on practical conversations about EMI shielding for medical devices. Medical electronics may combine sensitive measurement circuits, digital processing, wireless communication and power conversion within the same housing. Selecting shielding involves understanding how these functions interact, where unwanted electromagnetic energy can travel and how the product will be used. Component selection is part of the overall electromagnetic compatibility, or EMC, design process; it does not replace validation of the finished device.
3G’s board-level shielding portfolio includes standard and custom configurations that allow designers to address interference close to individual circuits. One-piece, two-piece and multi-zone shields provide different options for component isolation, access and assembly. For projects with tight space or weight constraints, the discussion can also consider alternatives to conventional machined housings and ways to combine multiple shielding functions within the available footprint.
Enclosure interfaces are another important part of the design discussion. Conductive gaskets help maintain electrical continuity across mating surfaces, seams and access panels. 3G offers material families including conductive elastomers, fabric-over-foam, conductive foam and knitted wire. Each option brings different mechanical and electrical characteristics, making material selection dependent on factors such as available compression, enclosure geometry and environmental sealing requirements.
Beyond metal shields and conductive elements, the company supplies Wavexorb microwave absorbers and THERMAWORX thermal interface materials. Absorbers can help control unwanted radio-frequency energy within electronic assemblies, while thermal materials support heat transfer between components and cooling surfaces. Considering these requirements together gives designers a way to evaluate shielding, space allocation and thermal interfaces as related elements of the product rather than as separate purchases.
Connecting design requirements with production needs
3G works alongside customers as an extension of their design teams. Its application engineers review requirements, recommend suitable approaches and provide detailed specifications and solid models for customer evaluation. For visitors preparing a new design or reviewing an existing assembly, a discussion at Booth 2745 can begin with the intended application, available space, component access requirements and the stage of development. Those inputs help establish a useful starting point for a shielding solution.
The company’s service model also addresses the transition from an initial design to physical evaluation. Its flexible manufacturing capabilities support prototypes without an initial investment in capital tooling, allowing customers to assess a concept before committing to higher-volume production methods. When revisions are required, design iterations can be produced in days, depending on the application. This approach supports development work in which enclosure dimensions, board layouts or assembly requirements may still be changing.
For production programs, 3G offers customer-specific stocking arrangements and support for just-in-time manufacturing. Standard, off-the-shelf parts and materials are usually shipped the same day, while custom requirements are reviewed against project needs. As a design matures, flexible manufacturing can support initial production quantities while appropriate tooling is introduced for longer-term unit-cost objectives. Visitors can discuss both engineering requirements and anticipated supply needs with the company.
MD&M Midwest brings together medtech, automation, design and manufacturing, plastics, and packaging. Within that broader event, 3G’s focus will remain on helping electronics teams define workable shielding approaches and understand the available material and manufacturing options. The company welcomes conversations involving new product development, existing designs and upcoming production requirements.
Engineers and purchasing professionals are invited to visit Booth 2745 on October 28–29. Companies seeking to begin a technical discussion before the event can contact 3G directly with their project requirements.
