Micromachining is an advanced manufacturing process that enables the production of miniature components, structures, and devices with consistency, repeatability, and accuracy. By incorporating intricate designs, specialized manufacturing processes, and high-precision techniques, medical micromachining produces microscopic parts measuring less than one millimeter for medical applications.
Certain specialized medical applications require ultra-tight tolerances, biocompatible materials, and complex geometries, all of which can be achieved through medical micro machining. It is an essential process for manufacturing miniature devices and components for minimally invasive procedures, such as microfluidic systems for diagnostics and drug delivery, as well as:
Medical micro machining employs a range of operations to produce the features and qualities required for the safe, effective performance of surgical instruments and medical implants. Each process provides specific benefits to micromachining, allowing for the creation of high-precision components that meet stringent regulatory standards for critical medical, surgical, and implantable devices.
These automated processes enable high-precision, repeatable manufacturing of complex geometries. CNC turning and milling are used to create ultra-fine features with tight tolerances, providing the critical profiles of small, intricate medical components, such as implants, surgical instruments, and pacemakers. They meet the strict requirements of medical manufacturing, providing high-quality, customized parts designed for patient safety.
For unparalleled precision in miniature parts, Swiss machining offers benefits for extremely small diameters, ranging from .472” – 1”. It is the perfect option for machining catheters, screws, and implants, delivering a high-efficiency solution that utilizes single-setup production to produce medical components with the necessary consistency to meet regulatory requirements.
Tube and wire bending create complex, 3D shapes from small-diameter wires and tubes with exceptional precision. This process serves a wide variety of applications, including stent and catheter components, as well as enabling the miniaturization of devices, the production of intricate components such as guidewires, and the enhancement of critical components to meet the accuracy, consistency, and reliability required.
To ensure the function, durability, and safety of machined medical components, processes, such as deburring, laser marking, and cleanroom assembly, are essential for refining finished parts. These secondary operations ensure that your components meet critical specifications for enhanced functionality and higher performance standards for precision medical components.
Combining micromachining with design iteration and production scaling allows for rapid prototyping and production across varying volumes of medical components. This enables faster time-to-market, lower costs, and greater design flexibility, supporting the creation of patient-specific devices that improve patient outcomes and provide a competitive advantage in medical device manufacturing.
