What Is Medical CNC Machining?
Medical CNC machining involves the production of medical instruments using computer numerical control (CNC) machines. It is a highly specialized and precise manufacturing process used to create components and parts for medical tools, devices, and equipment. This advanced technology enables the production of complex and finely detailed components crucial in the medical field.
The benefits of precision CNC milling
The automated nature, precision and flexibility of CNC milling machines create distinct advantages over other alternatives. Their sophisticated computer control capabilities allow for greater control over the production of any industrial component. Complex parts can be rotated in a single operation, saving on manufacturing costs while creating highly repeatable precision products. This time-saving feature improves efficiency and final output.
How can the medical industry achieve customized processing?
Material Selection
| There are many CNC machining materials. What materials should be used for medical and dental equipment? When selecting the best material for CNC medical components, factors such as the load, stress, impact and temperature that the product needs to withstand, as well as the size and weight of the component, should be considered.
|
CNC Machining Process Selection
| Custom machining is all forms of CNC machining - CNC milling, CNC turning, EDM, etc., with the explicit purpose of creating parts that do not exist elsewhere.
|
Surface treatment selection
| Most medical device housings are exterior components that usually require painting, sandblasting, screen printing, laser etching, anodizing, powder coating, etc. Some precision parts would rather be machined to ensure assembly.

Precision medical processing services offer a range of benefits,
Titanium has a high strength-to-weight ratio, strong corrosion resistance (seawater, chlorine and acid), and is non-toxic even when used in large quantities. This makes it extremely valuable in the medical field where implants and other medical devices are used.
CNC Milling
CNC milling involves the use of rotary cutting tools to remove material from a workpiece, producing complex parts with high precision. It is widely used for manufacturing a broad spectrum of medical devices, from implants to surgical instruments.
Prototyping of medical devices
Production of orthopedic implants such as knee and hip replacements
Manufacturing of surgical instruments and endoscopic tools
Creation of components for diagnostic equipment

Milling |
Milling is one of the versatile CNC machining processes ideal for creating complex components by removing material from a workpiece using rotating cutting tools. Moreover, it is best used for producing custom surgical instruments and implantable devices for medical equipment.
|
Turning |
Turning is another CNC technique that uses a rotating workpiece while a cutting tool removes material to produce cylindrical components. Specifically, turning is best used for producing screws, pins, or tubular components that require tight tolerances.
|
Electric Discharge Machining (EDM): |
Electrical discharge machining is a method of using traditional hard material processing technology of precision parts. For example, there are some parts made of EDM medical example: stents, surgical instruments, components, etc.

Few Considerations When Machining Titanium
Heat buildup: Since titanium is more rigid than common machining materials, heat buildup may happen at the point of contact. High-pressure coolants ease the strain, and reducing the machine's RPM is advised.
Galling: Pure titanium becomes gummy during machining, quickly sticking to the tool. It results in the galling and built-up edge. Using a high-pressure coolant ensures swift removal during these instances.
Workholding: Titanium alloys are less rigid than other materials. They require a tighter grip during machining, so a rigid machine setup is essential.
