sheet, round or flat wire or tubing. The vast majority of coronary stents are produced by laser cutting from tubing as it is one of the easiest manufacturing technique and slotted stent type designs are known for excellent radial strength. The 3-D geometries of the stents created in the available modeling software of SolidWorks 2012 are described below.
