Manufacturing Insight: Turning of Medical Parts

Why Speed and Precision Define Medical Device Success

Safety-Critical Precision: Medical components demand micron-level accuracy (±0.01mm) for biocompatibility, functionality, and regulatory compliance—where even minor deviations risk patient safety.
Time-to-Market Imperative: Delays in prototyping or production can cost startups months of development time and significant revenue opportunities.
Cost Efficiency at Scale: Processing time accounts for 20-50% of manufacturing costs—optimizing this without sacrificing quality is essential for viable medical device production.

Material Options & Finishes for Precision Medical Turning

At Honyo Prototype, we understand that material and surface finish selection is critical for medical parts—where biocompatibility, regulatory compliance, and performance are non-negotiable. Our precision CNC turning services are engineered to meet the highest medical standards, ensuring your components perform flawlessly in life-critical applications.

Material Selection Criteria for Medical Applications

Stainless Steel 316 (Medical Grade)
Ideal for implants and surgical instruments due to superior corrosion resistance and biocompatibility.
Meets ISO 13485 and FDA standards for long-term internal use.
Excellent strength-to-weight ratio for high-stress applications.
Stainless Steel 304
Cost-effective solution for non-implantable components like housings and external fixtures.
Good general corrosion resistance but less suitable for saline or acidic environments compared to 316.
Often used in diagnostic equipment and non-invasive devices.
Aluminum 6061/7075
Lightweight and strong for non-implantable medical devices (e.g., imaging equipment housings).
Requires anodizing or specialized coatings to meet biocompatibility standards.
Avoid for direct tissue contact; best for structural components where weight savings are critical.
Brass
Limited use in medical applications due to copper content (potential leaching risks).
Suitable for non-critical electrical connectors or non-implantable fixtures requiring conductivity.
Always verify regulatory compliance for specific use cases.
PEEK (Polyetheretherketone)
High-performance polymer for implants, surgical tools, and sterilizable components.
Biocompatible, radiation-resistant, and chemically inert.
Ideal for applications requiring lightweight, high-strength, and fatigue-resistant parts.

Surface Finishes for Medical Compliance

Electropolishing
Removes microscopic imperfections, enhancing corrosion resistance and reducing bacterial adhesion.
Critical for stainless steel implants and instruments requiring smooth, sterile surfaces.
Passivation
Eliminates surface contaminants and free iron from stainless steel parts.
Standard process to ensure compliance with medical device regulations.
Anodizing (Type III Hard Coat)
For aluminum components needing wear resistance and non-conductive properties.
Must be sealed and validated for biocompatibility in medical environments.
Mechanical Polishing
Achieves ultra-smooth surfaces (Ra < 0.4 µm) for critical medical components.
Ensures easy sterilization and minimizes contamination risks.
Medical-Grade Painting
Only for non-contact external housings with FDA-approved coatings.
Not recommended for internal or implantable parts due to potential flaking risks.
