CNC Machining for the medical industry
CNC machining has a multitude of applications in the medical industry. It can be used for the manufacture of high-quality components for medical equipment and also for rapid tooling to create dies for injection moulding which in turn will produce essential equipment such as Disposables, Diagnostic components, and Surgical instruments.
The medical industry requires stringent attention to detail, as any error could potentially impact directly on patient care. Furthermore, any equipment manufactured for this industry must be highly durable, survive multiple rounds of sterilisation, and feature a smooth finish. 5 axis CNC machining is, therefore, perfect for this application, as it works on multiple axes, allowing for more complex parts to be mass manufactured on a large scale, with high levels of repeatability.
More recently, areas of the medical industry which require large amounts of complex custom parts, for example within dentistry, have begun to utilise CNC machining to create a wide array of components, from dental prostheses to orthodontic trays.
Machining parts for the medical industry requires efficiency, speed, and accuracy. CNC machining provides these qualities and significantly reduces the risk of human error, whilst also increasing overall productivity and reducing waste.
Standish Engineering has extensive experience in manufacturing parts for a wide range of diverse and demanding specialist industries, including engineering precision parts for the NHS, as well as the UK railway network, and the Oil & Gas industry. For over 70 years, Standish Engineering has been at the forefront of offering the very best in manufacturing capability.
Our capacity includes CNC Chuck Lathes up to 450mm in diameter and 1000mm long, as well as CNC Bar Fed Twin Turret and Twin Spindle Lathes up to 65mm diameter and 450mm length, as well as several CNC 5-axis machining centres. The majority of parts are machined in stainless steel and aluminium, but we have significant experience in machining exotic alloys such as Super Duplex, Inconel®, Monel® and Hastelloy.
Our facilities also have capabilities for a wide array of post-production treatments, including magnetic particle inspection, liquid penetrant inspection, coded welding & assembly, and much more. The quality of your precision- engineered parts is of the utmost importance to us, which is why we ensure that our quality management system complies with the ISO 9001:2015 and industry standards, including ISO Cert and RISQS cert.
