Medical & Healthcare · 5-Axis CNC

Patient-critical parts. Documented to match.

Precision CNC machining for surgical instruments, implant geometries and diagnostic housings — biocompatible grades, ultra-tight tolerances, and documentation that drops into your device file.

Free DFM review on every quote — your part priced by an engineer, not an auto-quote. NDA on request.

  • AS9100D · ISO 9001
  • Biocompatible grades
  • Heat-lot traceability
  • CMM-verified

In medical work the part is only half the deliverable — the other half is the proof.

Where parts fail

A tolerance drifts and the part won't seat or assemble.

How we control it

±0.005 mm on critical features, CMM-verified, part after part.

Where parts fail

Swarf or coolant compromises a patient-contact surface.

How we control it

FOD control, passivation and clean bag-and-tag at shipment.

Where parts fail

A missing material cert stalls your supplier audit.

How we control it

Heat-lot traceability and a signed CoC on every batch.

Inside a 5-axis part

Built for the parts that can't fail on a patient.

Medical parts fail on the details — and the hard ones carry those details on a curved surface, at compound angles. Here's one, and how we hold it.

Representative 5-axis orthopaedic plate — compound-curved surface with angled locking-screw holes
Fig. — representative orthopaedic plate · 5-axis CAD model
Compound angles on a curved face
Locking-screw holes drilled normal to a contoured, twisted surface — each at a different compound angle. 5-axis holds them true to each other in one setup.
Titanium fights the tool
Ti and CoCr work-harden and hold heat in the cut. Material-specific toolpaths and high-pressure coolant keep the surface and metallurgy intact.
Contamination is a recall
FOD control, passivation and clean bag-and-tag — a part headed for patient contact leaves the floor clean, not just machined.
Documented, not assumed
Heat-lot traceable, CMM-verified, with a documentation package that drops into your device file.

Representative of the work we take on — not a named customer part. Share a real one under NDA and we'll show you exactly how we'd hold it.

Why this is different

Control of the whole stack — so your part is certain.

Your supplier-quality checklist — answered before you ask.

Everything your supplier-quality team flags before placing a part — answered, honestly, for an AS9100D shop.

AS9100D · ISO 9001 quality system

Certified — and the scope covers precision machining, not just assembly.

Material traceability

Heat-lot mill certs with chemistry and mechanicals — raw bar to finished part.

Biocompatible-grade materials

Ti-6Al-4V ELI (ASTM F136), 316L (F138), PEEK and CoCr — grade-certified.

First-article inspection (AS9102)

Full dimensional verification on new parts, before production.

CMM + surface finish

Calibrated CMM on critical features; Ra verified where the drawing calls it.

Passivation & finishing

Passivation to ASTM A967 / AMS 2700, electropolish where specified, with certs.

Cleanliness & FOD

Clean handling, scrap segregation, individual poly-bag and lot tag at shipment.

Certificate of Conformance

Signed by quality, on every shipment.

Supports your device file

Lot/batch records that drop into your DHR — you keep device-level regulatory ownership.

Confidentiality

NDA on request; drawings reviewed in confidence.

We machine to your print, under your regulatory framework. We don't claim to be your ISO 13485 or FDA system — we make it easy to audit, with traceability and documentation that support your device file.

How it works

01

Send your drawings

Upload a STEP or IGES model and a 2D drawing. Tell us material, grade and quantity. Confidential — NDA on request.

02

DFM review

Our engineering team reviews manufacturability and flags risk before you commit. No portal, no auto-quoter.

03

A real quote

A fixed price with materials, finishing (passivation/electropolish) and the inspection plan attached.

04

We cut it in-house

Machined on our own 3- and 5-axis platforms, probed on-machine, in biocompatible grades.

05

Inspect & ship

First-article and CMM verification, FOD-controlled clean bag-and-tag, with material cert, CoC and inspection report.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Tolerances, materials, documentation, lead time — the questions a buyer asks before placing a part with us. Don’t see yours?

We're AS9100D and ISO 9001 certified, with a scope that covers precision machining. We are not an ISO 13485 / FDA-registered device maker, and we don't claim to be. We machine build-to-print under your regulatory framework, with full heat-lot traceability and documentation that supports your device file — you keep device-level regulatory ownership.

As low as ±0.005 mm on critical features, CMM-verified and confirmed per part on the quote.

Ti-6Al-4V / ELI (ASTM F136), 316L (F138), PEEK and CoCr for direct-contact and implantable geometries — each supplied with its material-grade certificate.

Material certificate (heat-lot), certificate of conformance, first-article and CMM inspection reports, and passivation certs where called — a package that drops into your device file.

Cleanliness and foreign-object-debris (FOD) controls run through every step, with scrap segregation and individual poly-bag + lot tag at shipment.

Yes — iterate on a first article, then scale to production on the same floor under the same process control.
