1. Manufacturing of high-precision medical devices

CNC machine tools can achieve micron-level or even sub-micron-level processing accuracy, meeting the stringent requirements of medical equipment for dimensions and surface quality. For example:

Orthopaedic implants: such as artificial joints, bone screws and spinal fixation devices, which need to perfectly match the human skeleton. CNC machine tools use five-axis interpolation technology to process complex curved surfaces, ensuring surface roughness as low as Ra0.4μm while reducing vibration interference and enhancing product stability.

Dental instruments: Customised production of dental crowns, bridges, and orthodontic appliances relies on CNC technology, enabling personalised manufacturing through 3D scanning and CAD models to improve patient comfort.

Pacemaker components: Precision machining of micro-parts requires strict tolerance control to ensure the reliability of electronic components.

2. Machining of complex-shaped parts

Bone files and knee joint bone pads;

Surgical robot components: The complex geometric structures of robot-assisted surgical instruments require CNC machine tools combined with multi-axis linkage and intelligent programming technology to ensure high-precision motion control.

3. Processing of biocompatible materials

Medical implants often use difficult-to-machine materials such as titanium alloys and PEEK; CNC machine tools employ special processes to address this;

Titanium alloy implants: high-speed milling and cooling optimisation are used to prevent material performance changes caused by high temperatures.

High-density polyethylene: knee joint cartilage pads are processed using high-speed spindles to achieve high surface finish while reducing processing time.

4. Customisation and rapid prototyping

Personalised prosthetics and implants: CNC machine tools can rapidly produce customised prosthetics or implants, such as reverse-engineered hip replacements, using patient data generated from 3D scanning.

Medical device prototypes: CNC machining supports small-batch trial production, accelerating product iteration, such as rapid prototyping and testing of electronic medical device housings.
