Here’s how precision machine shops are successfully producing complex parts for the medical industry.
One end market we cover frequently in Production Machining is the medical industry. Many medical devices, like bone screws, plates, rods, artificial joints and other devices and tools are small, precise parts that require the machining capabilities of precision machine shops. Many shops are adding these capabilities as the population ages and demand for medical parts grows. But with so many manufacturers competing to serve the medical industry, medtech companies are now consolidating their supply chains. These trends present an opportunity for shops that are willing to adopt the latest technology and go outside their comfort zones to take on new processes. Here are five articles we’ve written over the past several years about producing parts for the medical industry:
- Keeping Current with the Medical Machining Market
- Making Parts on a Swiss/Laser Machine
- Dry Swiss Machining in Medical
