Whether parts are made of metal, plastic, ceramic, or composite materials, CNC machining has a wide range of applications in medical part manufacturing. Although plastic medical parts can be produced through injection molding, casting, or extrusion processes, the molds or extrusion dies required for these production processes often need to be manufactured using CNC machining. The following are the most common types of applications for medical CNC machining:
Medical devices refer to all products used for medical purposes, covering diagnostic, radiological imaging, monitoring, and therapeutic fields. Common medical devices include:
These devices and their sub-components can be processed from various materials, such as stainless steel, aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and nylon.
Some components of ventilators, EKG machines, X-ray machines, MRI machines, stretchers, hospital beds, and prosthetics can be directly processed through 5-axis CNC machine tools, Swiss-type lathes, or standard CNC milling machines. Other components may need to be manufactured through plastic injection molding or plastic extrusion processes, in which case 5-axis CNC milling or Wire EDM processes can be used to make plastic injection mold sets or extrusion mold sets.
Medical implants are products that are surgically implanted or inserted into a patient's body. These products require extremely high dimensional accuracy and the use of biocompatible materials. Common medical implants include:
Commonly used materials for implants include titanium alloy, titanium-based alloy, and cobalt-chromium alloy. 5-axis precision CNC milling and Wire EDM are two ideal medical CNC machining methods for manufacturing medical implants and related components.
Surgical instruments are tools and equipment used by doctors and medical staff during surgical procedures. They must be made of biocompatible materials, have surfaces free of contaminants such as corrosion, and meet strict dimensional tolerance requirements. Common surgical instruments include:
In medical CNC machining, surgical stainless steel and titanium alloy are the two most commonly used materials. 5-axis CNC machining, Swiss-type lathe machining, and CNC milling are all suitable for the CNC machining of surgical instruments.
Dental instruments also need to be made of biocompatible materials, with contaminant-free surfaces and precise dimensional tolerances. Common dental instruments include:
Stainless steel and titanium alloy are the two most commonly used materials for dental instruments. Metal instruments such as probes, scalers, and mirrors can be easily processed through 5-axis CNC milling machines or Swiss-type lathes; for products with plastic components such as suction devices, the plastic parts are made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or polyethylene (PE), which can be processed through plastic injection mold sets or extrusion molds. These mold sets usually need to be manufactured with precise tolerance requirements using 5-axis CNC milling and/or Wire EDM processes.
EPTAHUB offers a wide range of CNC machining capabilities for the medical manufacturing industry, including 3-axis milling machines, CNC lathes, 5-axis CNC milling machines, and Wire EDM machine tools. Detailed information is as follows:
EPTAHUB provides Wire EDM medical machining services for the production of medical parts and components. Wire EDM is an unconventional machining process that uses a conductive wire for cutting. The parts processed have a low surface roughness (minimum up to 1.5μm Ra) and can meet extremely high tolerance requirements (±0.0025mm).
Wire EDM is widely used in medical CNC machining because many medical devices such as surgical tools and bone plates have strict precision requirements. This technology is also commonly used in the production of plastic injection molds and extrusion molds, and can cut any conductive material.
The 5-axis CNC medical machining provided by EPTAHUB has significant advantages over the simpler structured 3-axis and 4-axis machining. It allows the part to move in 5 degrees of freedom simultaneously, enabling the cutting tool to access the part from any direction. Therefore, complex-shaped parts that cannot be processed by 3-axis or 4-axis machine tools can be accurately manufactured through 5-axis CNC machining.
5-axis CNC machining is very suitable for manufacturing medical devices such as joint replacement components, prosthetics, and various surgical and dental instruments, and can also be used for mold making. In the medical industry, commonly used materials for 5-axis machining include titanium alloy, stainless steel, cobalt-chromium alloy, and aluminum alloy.
The Swiss-type CNC medical machining equipment provided by EPTAHUB is a precision manufacturing equipment that can produce small parts quickly and accurately. Compared with standard CNC lathes, the main advantage of Swiss-type CNC machine tools is that they are equipped with multiple cutting tool spindles and can perform cutting along the Z-axis direction of the part, allowing multiple cutting operations that usually require multiple clamping to be performed simultaneously. Finally, parts with high precision and complex structures can be processed, which are difficult to process through standard lathes. Swiss-type CNC medical machining is particularly suitable for manufacturing round parts, such as prosthetics, joint replacement components, and round components in various surgical and dental instruments. Commonly used materials include stainless steel, aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, and cobalt-chromium alloy.
EPTAHUB provides standard 3-axis and 4-axis medical CNC milling services. The advantages of medical CNC milling are fast part delivery and guaranteed part tolerance compliance. Commonly used materials include stainless steel, titanium alloy, aluminum alloy, cobalt-chromium alloy, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyether ether ketone (PEEK), nylon, and polyethylene (PE).
Any material that can be used in medical devices must meet high reliability and performance standards. The following are the most commonly used types of materials in medical CNC machining:
Aluminum alloy is widely used in the medical industry due to its light weight, high strength-to-weight ratio, durability, and corrosion resistance. At the same time, it is also biocompatible and can be used for the production of components within a limited range inside the human body. Common applications include:
Commonly used aluminum alloy grades include:
Stainless steel has excellent properties such as high strength, good toughness, corrosion resistance, impact resistance, and biocompatibility, making it very suitable for various applications in the medical industry. Its thermal stability and surface passivation layer make parts easy to clean and disinfect. Common applications include:
Commonly used stainless steel grades in the medical industry include:
Titanium alloy and its base alloy are used in the medical industry due to their high strength, light weight, low density, and corrosion resistance. Titanium is one of the few inert metals that does not react with human body fluids and tissues. Common applications include:
Commonly used titanium alloy grades in the medical field include:
Brass is increasingly used in the medical industry due to its antibacterial properties, cost-effectiveness, easy recyclability, and sufficient strength. Copper, the main metal component in brass, has natural antibacterial properties that can inhibit the growth of bacteria and pathogens. Common applications include:
Polyethylene (PE) is widely used in the medical field because it can maintain structural integrity after multiple sterilizations and has biological inertness. EPTAHUB can directly process polyethylene into finished parts or make various plastic processing molds required for the production of plastic parts. Common applications include:
Nylon has properties such as high tensile strength, good flexibility, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and chemical resistance, making it an ideal material for the medical industry. EPTAHUB can make plastic processing molds required for the production of nylon parts, such as injection molds and extrusion molds. Common applications include:
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is an ideal material for the medical industry, with excellent properties such as flame retardancy, chemical resistance, and durability. Common applications include:
