MEDICAL DEVICE DIE / MOLD & PARTS FABRICATION
Overcoming Medical Device Tooling Challenges with Precision Engineering
From surgical instruments to diagnostic housings and drug-delivery disposables, we solve micro-tolerance, surface-cleanliness and regulatory-traceability challenges for medical device OEMs.
PAIN POINT 01
Micro-Tolerance & Surface-Cleanliness Demands
The Challenge
Surgical instruments and implantable components demand tolerances down to ±0.002 mm and contamination-free surfaces; any burr, flash or polish defect triggers rejection under regulated inspection.
Our Solution
Jig-ground and mirror-EDM cavities with finishes down to Ra 0.05 µm, zero-burr EDM edges, and clean-assembly handling that keeps cavities inspection-ready for sterile-environment programs.
PAIN POINT 02
Flash & Wear on Medical Plastics (PEEK, POM)
The Challenge
High-flow medical grades such as PEEK and POM produce micro-flash on parting lines and gating edges, while glass-filled compounds accelerate core-pin wear in high-cavity disposables molds.
Our Solution
Tight shut-off parting-line design, hardened S136 / 17-4PH cavities and DLC / TiAlN-coated pins to hold zero-flash molding and 1,000,000+ shot tool life.
PAIN POINT 03
Regulatory Traceability & Validation Burden
The Challenge
Medical OEMs face long qualification cycles: material certificates, heat-treatment logs, CMM reports and IQ/OQ support must accompany every tooling delivery.
Our Solution
IATF 16949-level process control with full material certificates (EN 10204 3.1), 100% CMM inspection, and documentation packages structured for ISO 13485 audit readiness.
