What Is Medical CNC Machining?
Medical CNC machining involves the production of medical
instruments using computer numerical control (CNC) machines. It is
a highly specialized and precise manufacturing process used to
create components and parts for medical tools, devices, and
equipment. This advanced technology enables the production of
complex and finely detailed components crucial in the medical
field.
The benefits of precision CNC milling
The automated nature, precision and flexibility of CNC milling
machines create distinct advantages over other alternatives. Their
sophisticated computer control capabilities allow for greater
control over the production of any industrial component. Complex
parts can be rotated in a single operation, saving on manufacturing
costs while creating highly repeatable precision products. This
time-saving feature improves efficiency and final output.
How can the medical industry achieve customized processing?
Material Selection
| There are many CNC machining materials. What materials should be
used for medical and dental equipment? When selecting the best
material for CNC medical components, factors such as the load,
stress, impact and temperature that the product needs to withstand,
as well as the size and weight of the component, should be
considered.
|
CNC Machining Process Selection
| Custom machining is all forms of CNC machining - CNC milling, CNC
turning, EDM, etc., with the explicit purpose of creating parts
that do not exist elsewhere.
|
Surface treatment selection
| Most medical device housings are exterior components that usually
require painting, sandblasting, screen printing, laser etching,
anodizing, powder coating, etc. Some precision parts would rather
be machined to ensure assembly.

Precision medical processing services offer a range of benefits,
- Medical equipment are equipped with parts of the highest precision.
Precision medical machining allows us to create parts that not only
meet the requirements of medical device OEMs but also performance
requirements.
- Medical parts precision machining help create complex parts for use
in robotics or laser equipment, which are used for surgeries.
- Medical parts are built of specialized materials that can meet the
standards of safety, durability, and non-reactiveness. Our
precision medical machining services allow us to skillfully
transform these materials into parts with complex part geometries.
- Precision machining allows us to custom design parts for a precise
fit.
Titanium has a high strength-to-weight ratio, strong corrosion
resistance (seawater, chlorine and acid), and is non-toxic even
when used in large quantities. This makes it extremely valuable in
the medical field where implants and other medical devices are
used.
CNC Milling
CNC milling involves the use of rotary cutting tools to remove
material from a workpiece, producing complex parts with high
precision. It is widely used for manufacturing a broad spectrum of
medical devices, from implants to surgical instruments.
Prototyping of medical devices
Production of orthopedic implants such as knee and hip replacements
Manufacturing of surgical instruments and endoscopic tools
Creation of components for diagnostic equipment

Milling |
Milling is one of the versatile CNC machining processes ideal for
creating complex components by removing material from a workpiece
using rotating cutting tools. Moreover, it is best used for
producing custom surgical instruments and implantable devices for
medical equipment.
|
Turning |
Turning is another CNC technique that uses a rotating workpiece
while a cutting tool removes material to produce cylindrical
components. Specifically, turning is best used for producing
screws, pins, or tubular components that require tight tolerances.

Electric Discharge Machining (EDM): |
Electrical discharge machining is a method of using traditional
hard material processing technology of precision parts. For
example, there are some parts made of EDM medical example: stents,
surgical instruments, components, etc.

Few Considerations When Machining Titanium
Heat buildup: Since titanium is more rigid than common machining materials,
heat buildup may happen at the point of contact. High-pressure
coolants ease the strain, and reducing the machine's RPM is
advised.
Galling: Pure titanium becomes gummy during machining, quickly sticking to
the tool. It results in the galling and built-up edge. Using a
high-pressure coolant ensures swift removal during these instances.
Workholding: Titanium alloys are less rigid than other materials. They require
a tighter grip during machining, so a rigid machine setup is
essential.
