ShareAn important application for CNC machined medical parts is the manufacture of body implants, including hip replacements, spinal implants and knee implants. The medical field typically requires small quantities of implants. As a result, manufacturing processes such as injection molding may not be economical due to the high cost of mold production.
However, medical CNC machining offers a cost-effective solution. The process utilizes reusable tools, which reduces production costs. CNC machining's compatibility with a variety of materials makes it an ideal process for manufacturing medical implants. These materials include titanium, stainless steel, cobalt chromium alloys and plastics such as PEEK. CNC machining also ensures precision and accuracy, providing physicians with customized implants.
