Titanium Medical Parts — Fine Machining of a Difficult Material
Heart-stent components and orthopedic instruments in titanium, high-mix low-volume, with CMM-backed inspection for medical-grade quality.
- 01
Challenge
Titanium traps heat and wears tooling — a classically difficult material. Medical parts add fine geometry, near-mirror surface quality, and inspection to near-full-inspection standards. Holding that quality in high-mix, low-volume production was the challenge.
- 02
Approach
Swiss-type lathes and machining centers are chosen per geometry, with titanium cutting parameters standardized per part number. Over 60 machines — including CMM inspection — back conformance to drawing tolerances with inspection reports.
- 03
Outcome
Ongoing orders in the medical field. The same setup handles semiconductor-equipment parts (316L, Kovar) and precision automotive parts — inquiries welcome from a single prototype.
