Ultra-Precision Machining of Ceramic Components for the Medical Device Industry
Dimensional tolerances ±0.001mm | Geometric control within 0.002mm
As medical technologies evolve toward miniaturization, biocompatibility, and long-term reliability, technical ceramics have become a material of choice for critical components in surgical tools, implantable systems, and high-performance diagnostic devices. With over 20 years of machining experience, we specialize in custom precision ceramic parts tailored to the demanding standards of the global medical device industry.
Why Technical Ceramics in Medical Devices?
Ceramic materials such as zirconia, alumina, and silicon nitride offer:
- Exceptional biocompatibility
- Corrosion and chemical resistance
- High wear resistance and hardness
- Radiolucency for imaging applications
- Electrical insulation in implantable electronics
These properties make ceramics ideal for applications ranging from orthopedic implants to surgical instrumentation and fluidic systems in analytical devices.
Equipment & Tolerance Capabilities
Our state-of-the-art facility is equipped with:
- 5-axis high-speed CNC centers for complex geometries
- Swiss-type grinding and polishing systems for submicron finishes
- Tokyo Seimitsu roundness testers and Zeiss CMMs for micron-level inspection
- Cleanroom-compatible cleaning and packaging systems
We consistently achieve:
- ±0.001mm dimensional tolerances
- Geometric tolerances within 0.002mm
- Surface roughness as low as Ra 0.02μm, ensuring tissue compatibility and aseptic integrity
Custom-Made to Your Drawings
Every ceramic component is custom-machined according to customer drawings (CAD/CAM), with our engineering team supporting you from:
- Early design feasibility and DFM reviews
- Material selection based on clinical application
- Custom tooling design to prevent chipping or stress cracking
- Batch traceability and full inspection documentation for FDA/CE compliance
We support both prototype and volume production, with fast lead times and consistent quality across batches.
