Additive manufacturing in metal or plastic has some limitations as a high-volume production method. It does not, and maybe never will, compete with conventional manufacturing like plastic injection molding or CNC machining when it comes to ultimate speed and efficiency. But that’s ok because 3D printing is a perfect solution for quickly making models and end-use parts in support of healthcare and medical applications. The design flexibility and wide range of substrates mean that more options are available than [...]

CNC machining, in its many forms, is one of the most versatile of all conventional manufacturing processes. This versatility extends to the types of parts that can be made, the material from which they are made and the volumes produced. Using conventional CNC milling and turning, parts can be made for medical products very quickly and inexpensively and in unlimited amounts. Let’s take a closer look at those Top benefits of using CNC machining to make medical products and why [...]

As we all know, the whole world is suffering from the pandemic of COVID-19 risk, devices used in medicine and healthcare are in urgent need to defend. Despite the urgency, all devices must meet the highest standards of performance and reliability. This is as it should be, but medical products are more than merely practical tools or appliances. Although there are many different types and applications, to the greatest degree possible they also must [...]
