• Savings: Beyond cost reduction, partnering with an external medical device machining firm frees up facility space and lowers labor expenses.
• Reliability: Advanced CNC machining delivers consistent, high-precision parts that meet strict safety and functionality requirements.
• Flexible Production: From prototyping to full-scale manufacturing, CNC machining adapts seamlessly to changing production needs without additional overhead.
• Advanced Equipment: Roberson Machine Company continuously upgrades its machinery to provide access to the latest CNC technology, improving part quality and precision.
• Engineered for Any Requirement: From micro-scale components to large parts, CNC machining delivers adaptability across all project demands.

CNC Machining for the Medical Sector

The medical sector in the U.S. relies on highly specialized manufacturing to produce critical components. Many devices are disposable to prevent infections, and parts such as stents, catheters, and surgical screws—sometimes as small as 50 microns—demand extreme precision. Any deviation from exact specifications can pose serious risks.

CNC machining provides unmatched precision and repeatability for medical manufacturing. With computer-controlled milling and turning, each component is crafted to exact specifications with consistent quality. Medical professionals rely on CNC-machined parts for a wide range of applications, including:

• Precision and Accuracy: CNC machining offers superior precision, ensuring that all parts meet strict safety and functionality requirements.
• Complex Geometries: With CNC machining, we can produce highly detailed, intricate shapes that are ideal for custom implants and surgical tools.
• Material Versatility: CNC machining offers compatibility with diverse materials such as biocompatible metals, plastics, aluminum alloys, stainless steel, PLAs, PETG, and ceramics to meet the demands of medical device manufacturing.
• Rapid Prototyping: CNC contracting provides fast, cost-effective prototyping to quickly iterate and test new designs without long lead times.
• Cost Efficiency: CNC machining outsourcing minimizes overhead costs associated with equipment, maintenance, and labor, ensuring cost-effective, high-quality production.
• Meeting Stringent FDA Standards: Contract manufacturers provide the expertise and infrastructure needed to comply with FDA medical device regulations, reducing compliance risks.
• Custom Solutions: CNC technology offers the flexibility to produce bespoke medical components, tools, and devices that meet the precise needs of both healthcare professionals and patients.
