Preforms are described, e.g., preforms in rod, sheet or medical device form, that have non-uniform properties in different regions of a single preform. These “engineered preforms” have predetermined properties that can allow, e.g., some regions of a single preform to be relatively stiff and resistant to wear, while other regions of the same preform are relatively flexible. Methods of making the anisotropic preforms are also described.
