Rapid Manufacturing on Demand

Our reliable rapid prototyping services have served many customers representing different phases of the aerospace industry. Consequently, we have adjusted our systems to ensure that any order, regardless of volume, is produced and delivered at the right time for each customer. Our production systems can produce parts in small, batch, or large-scale quantities, and the most important aspect is that our quality standards remain high. The product design stage at our company is reduced since we only use the right tools that can quickly capture all the relevant product details. We can quickly create aerospace part prototypes and show them to customers who may then decide if certain changes must be made to the original design.

The division of four processes in CNC machining of medical parts

The design and development of medical devices is the key stage of its success, and in the production of medical devices, cnc processing is particularly important. CNC machining offers the advantages of a high degree of customization, tight tolerances, good surface finish and certified material selection. When machining with cnc, parts are usually milled with 3 to 5 axes or turned with a live tool CNC lathe. Manufactured items include various surgical instruments used in medical procedures, such as trocars (skin passers), bone drills, and saws.

Four requirements for medical parts processing

For parts with many and complex CNC machining surfaces, the sequence of CNC machining, heat treatment and auxiliary processes should be reasonably arranged, and the problem of connection between processes should be solved. Before clamping the raw material, measure whether the size of the blank meets the requirements of the drawing, and carefully check whether its placement is consistent with the programming instructions. In CNC machining, self-check should be carried out in time after the roughing process is completed, so as to adjust the error data in time. The content of self-inspection mainly includes the position and size of the processing part:

(1) Whether the mechanical parts are loose during processing;

(2) Whether the processing technology of medical parts is correct to touch the starting point;

(3) Whether the size of the CNC machining part to the reference edge (reference point) conforms to the drawing requirements;

(4) The location and size of medical parts. After checking the position and size, measure the roughed shape ruler (except arcs).

FAQ

CNC, or computer numerical control machining, is a subtractive manufacturing method that leverages a combination of computerized controls and machine tools to remove layers from a solid block of material. The desired cuts in the metal are programmed according to corresponding tools and machinery, which perform the machining task in an automated fashion.

CNC machining starts with a computer, on which designers prepare a part using CAD (Computer-aided Design) software. This digital part is then converted into a format that can be recognized by a CNC machine.

Instructions are sent to the CNC machine in the form of  “G-Code” after which the machine can start cutting.

Most CNC machines have a “worktable” and work holding device to keep a block of material — known as the “workpiece” — in place. The worktable may or may not move, depending on the style of the machine.

When machining starts, the cutting tool makes contact with the workpiece, cutting away layers of material. The tool and/or workpiece is moved and/or rapidly rotated according to the G-Code instructions so that cuts are made in exactly the right places until the part is finished.
