| Turning | Precision CNC turning with live tooling for turn-mill operations; suitable for shafts, fittings, and cylindrical components |
| Tight Tolerances | ±0.0002″ (5 µm) typical; held consistently across critical features such as bore diameters, concentricity, and positional tolerances |
| Surface Finish | As low as 8 µin Ra achievable; polished or matte finishes available per medical requirements |
| Materials – Metals | Aluminum (6061, 7075, 2024), Stainless Steel (303, 304, 316/L), Titanium (Grade 2, 5), and other medical-grade alloys |
| Materials – Plastics | ABS (medical grade), Nylon (6, 6/6), PEEK, Polycarbonate, Delrin (POM), and other FDA-compliant polymers |
| Part Size Range | Milling: Up to 24″ x 36″ x 16″ (600 x 900 x 400 mm); Turning: Up to 16″ (400 mm) diameter, 30″ (760 mm) length |
| Secondary Operations | Deburring, passivation, cleaning (ultrasonic), metrology (CMM, optical comparators), and packaging in controlled environments |
| Quality Standards | ISO 13485 compliant processes; full traceability; first article inspection (FAI) and PPAP documentation available |
Our machining specialists apply deep technical knowledge of material behavior, toolpath optimization, and thermal stability to ensure repeatability and compliance with medical industry standards such as ISO 13485 and FDA 21 CFR Part 820. This enables reliable production of surgical instruments, implantable components, diagnostic equipment housings, and drug delivery system parts.
From CAD to Part: The Process
Honyo Prototype Medical Machining Specialist Process Overview
Honyo Prototype delivers precision-machined medical components through a rigorously controlled workflow designed for regulatory compliance, material biocompatibility, and zero-defect manufacturing. Our process integrates AI-driven efficiency with deep medical device engineering expertise to mitigate risks inherent in orthopedic implants, surgical instruments, and diagnostic equipment. Below is the end-to-end sequence:
CAD Upload with Medical Compliance Validation
Clients initiate the process by uploading native CAD files (STEP, IGES, Parasolid) via our secure portal. Our system immediately performs automated validation against ISO 13485 documentation requirements, checking for critical medical-specific attributes: material traceability fields, surface finish annotations per ASTM F86, and geometric dimensioning per ASME Y14.5. Files lacking mandatory biocompatibility data (e.g., ISO 10993-1 references for polymers) trigger automated alerts to the client before proceeding.
AI-Powered Medical Quoting Engine
Honyo’s proprietary AI engine analyzes validated CAD data against our medical-specific databases, including:
Material certifications (ASTM F136 titanium, ASTM F2066 PEEK, ISO 5832-3 cobalt-chrome)
Regulatory pathway constraints (FDA 510(k), CE MDR Annex XVI)
Sterilization compatibility (EtO, gamma, plasma)
The system generates a comprehensive quote within 2 business hours, detailing cost drivers like cleanroom validation hours, required bioburden testing, and UDI (Unique Device Identification) marking costs. Unlike generic quoting, our AI flags potential regulatory gaps—such as inadequate corrosion resistance per ASTM F2129 for implantable components.
Medical-Grade DFM Analysis
Our senior engineers conduct a mandatory Design for Manufacturability review focused on medical device failure modes:
Sterile Design Assessment: Eliminating crevices, ensuring cleanability per ISO 15223-1
Tolerance Stack-Up Validation: Confirming GD&T callouts meet surgical precision requirements (±0.005mm typical for joint replacement surfaces)
Material-Process Alignment: Verifying machining parameters avoid thermal degradation in polymers like UHMWPE
DFM reports include annotated CAD markups with actionable feedback, such as modifying edge geometries to prevent stress concentrations in load-bearing implants. This phase typically reduces post-production rework by 68% for Class II/III devices.
Regulatory-Compliant Production
Components enter production in ISO 13485:2016-certified cleanrooms (Class 7 for implants, Class 8 for instruments). Key medical-specific controls include:
Real-time SPC monitoring of critical dimensions with automated deviation alerts
Dedicated tooling for biocompatible materials to prevent cross-contamination
In-process bioburden testing per ISO 11737-1 for sterilizable items
All operations follow documented work instructions aligned with 21 CFR Part 820, with full lot traceability from raw material certs to finished part.
Validation-Backed Delivery
Final delivery includes:
Sterilization validation documentation (ISO 11135/11137 reports)
Complete device history record (DHR) with material certs, inspection data, and UDI labels
Dimensional reports certified to ISO 17025 standards
Shipments use ISO 11607-compliant sterile barrier packaging with environmental monitoring logs. Average lead time from CAD upload to delivery is 12–18 business days for first-article submissions.
Critical Medical vs. Standard Machining Differentiators
| Parameter | Standard Machining | Honyo Medical Machining |
|————————-|—————————–|———————————-|
| Material Traceability | Mill certificates | Full ISO 10993-1 biocompatibility dossiers |
| Surface Finish Control | Ra 0.8–1.6 μm | Ra 0.2–0.4 μm with isotropic finish verification |
| Cleanroom Requirements | None | Class 7/8 with particle counts per ISO 14644-1 |
| Documentation | Basic COC | Complete DHF/DHR per 21 CFR 820.180 |
This workflow ensures medical device manufacturers achieve accelerated time-to-market while meeting stringent regulatory expectations. By embedding compliance into each phase, Honyo eliminates costly late-stage design revisions and provides auditable evidence for regulatory submissions.
