CNC Machining Solutions for the Medical Industry in China
Why is CNC machining used in the medical industry?
CNC machining is creating molds for injection that offer consistent and repeatable results. CNC machines are fast and accurate, producing more precise machined products. Precision is essential for products with tight tolerances, such as prosthetics and medical machinery.
What are the applications of CNC machining for the medical industry?
CNC machining can produce high-quality surgical instruments and components for medical machines like pacemakers and surgically implanted devices. Bone screws are a perfect application for Swiss CNC machines.
When it comes to manufacturing screws that are used in medical implants, precision is of utmost importance. These screws can be as small as one millimeter in one direction, have incredibly tight tolerances, and require flawless finishes to avoid patient discomfort and even part failure. To eliminate any contamination concerns, the screws cannot be cut with fluids. This leaves CNC machining as the only viable manufacturing option. Swiss machining is the most effective way to cut a part with a large length-to-width ratio to meet the strict requirements for medical screws.
What materials are used for CNC machining in the medical industry?
When designing any medical part, it is crucial to consider either sterilization or disposal, and ensure that the materials used have specific tension and malleability requirements. The materials used in the medical industry reflect this requirement. Approximately four out of five medical devices are made from stainless steel due to its oxidation resistance and ease of machining. Titanium has an elasticity feature. It’s a popular material because it corresponds to bone more closely than stainless steel. Continuous research is being conducted to discover new materials that can be utilized in the medical industry, including ceramics, polymers, and composites.
