CNC Machining for Medical Devices and Equipment

Medical products demand consistent dimensions, reliable materials, and controlled processes. CNC machining is a strong choice for medical components because it produces accurate features, smooth mating surfaces, and repeatable results in production-grade materials.

LK Tools supports development teams and OEMs with machining services that fit the medical product lifecycle—from early prototypes and engineering builds to validation runs and repeat low-volume production. available upon request.

Applications of Medical CNC Machining

CNC machining is commonly used for medical devices and lab systems where accuracy, repeatability, and material options are essential.

Medical Devices

For implant-related programs, requirements compact handheld equipment to larger systems.

  • Device housings and covers
  • Internal frames, mounts, and brackets
  • Precision interfaces and alignment features
  • Heat-management and structural components

Medical Implants

For implant-related or biocompatibility-sensitive projects, material choice, finishing, and documentation requirements are critical. Share vary significantly by material, validation, and compliance needs. Share your specifications and documentation requirements early so we can confirm feasibility and routing.

  • Titanium and specialty alloy components (project-dependent)
  • Custom tools and fixtures used in implant manufacturing
  • Prototype parts for design validation

Surgical Instruments

We machine components used in surgical and diagnostic instruments where fit and finish are important.

  • Titanium components (project-dependent)
  • Stainless steel components (project-dependent)
  • Traceability and certification support upon request

Surgical stainless steel and titanium are two of the most commonly used materials in medical CNC machining. 5-axis CNC machining, Swiss lathe, and CNC milling are all applicable processes when CNC machining surgical instruments.

Dental Instruments

Dental equipment and tooling often require compact geometry and tight fits. We support small precision parts and repeat low-volume runs.

  • Small fixtures and brackets
  • Precision mechanical interfaces
  • Custom components for equipment upgrades (project-dependent)

Types of Medical CNC Machining

We have extensive CNC capability for the medical manufacturing industry including: 3-axis milling machines, CNC lathes, 5-axis CNC milling machines, and wire EDM machines. 

See more information below:

Wire EDM Medical Machining

Xometry offers wire EDM medical machining to fabricate medical parts and components. Wire EDM is a non-conventional machining process in which cuts are made with an electrically conductive wire. This results in parts with shallow surface roughnesses (down to 1.5 µm Ra) that satisfy extremely tight tolerances (+0.0025 mm). 

Wire EDM is highly applicable for medical CNC machining, as various medical devices like surgical tools and bone plates require precision. This technology is commonly used for the fabrication of plastic injection molds and extrusion dies. Wire EDM can also be used to cut any electrically conductive material.

5-Axis CNC Medical Machining

We offers 5-axis CNC medical machining which has an advantage over simpler 3- and 4-axis machining. It allows parts to be moved about 5 degrees of freedom simultaneously. This enables cutting tools to approach parts from any direction. Consequently, it allows complex shapes that otherwise would not be possible to be cut on a 3- or 4-axis machine to be cut with precision.

5-axis CNC machining is ideal for medical devices such as joint replacements, prostheses, and various surgical and dental instruments—not to mention its use for the fabrication of molds and dies. Common materials used in the medical industry with 5-axis machining include titanium, stainless steel, chromium-cobalt, and aluminum. 

Swiss CNC Medical Machining

We offers Swiss CNC medical machining, a precision manufacturing machine that produces very small parts quickly and accurately. The primary advantage of swiss CNC machines over standard CNC lathes is that multiple cutting operations that would normally require multiple setups can occur simultaneously. This is due to the presence of multiple spindles for cutting tools—as well as the ability to make cuts along the Z-axis of the part. What results, are highly precise, complex parts that otherwise could not be cut on a standard lathe. Swiss CNC medical machining is ideal for round parts such as those found in prostheses, joint replacements, and surgical and dental instruments. Common materials include stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, and chromium-cobalt.

Medical CNC Milling

We offers standard 3- and 4-axis medical CNC milling. Medical CNC milling’s advantage is the rapid turnaround of parts and parts that fall within tight tolerances. Common materials include stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, chromium-cobalt,  PVC, PEEK, nylon, and PE.
