What are the applications of CNC machining medical parts? 

With superior technology and state-of-the-art equipment, Ruiyi has become a medical parts CNC machining offers a wide range of precision parts. In many cases, when creating a novel production project, engineers need to perform custom CNC machining to obtain prototypes to further validate and assess the feasibility of the project. Individual non-standard components of the project cannot be purchased from suppliers.These parts may be as simple as gears or buttons in non-standard sizes or materials, they may be brand new inventions, at Ruiyi all you need to do is to provide the drawings with the materials and we will give you factory direct pricing within 24 hours.

The following are the applications of CNC machining medical parts:

Handheld devices, surgical instruments, medical trolleys, electronic instruments, medical diagnostic equipment, ultrasound equipment, medical monitoring instruments, laser equipment, medical devices, physiotherapy instruments, anatomical models, MRI equipment, tablets and panels, X-ray equipment, teaching aids, clinical analysis instruments, nursing equipment, and more.

How to achieve custom CNC machining in medical industry?
1. Material selection
There are many materials for CNC machining. Which material should be chosen for medical and dental equipment? CNC machining medical parts When choosing the best material, factors such as the loads, stresses, impacts and temperatures that the product needs to withstand, as well as the size and weight of the part, should be considered.

Different medical devices have their own most suitable materials. For example, for implants, the best materials are titanium alloys, cobalt-chromium alloys, stainless steel, and PEEK. Titanium alloys (Ti6Al4V), SUS alloys (SUS630, SUS420J2, SUS440C), aluminium alloys (A 2000 series, A 6000 series) and resins are suitable materials for surgical instruments.

2. CNC machining process selection
In short, custom machining is all forms of CNC machining - CNC machining milling, turning, EDM, etc. with the express purpose of making parts that don't exist elsewhere. Milling is a machining process that uses a rotating multipoint cutting tool to remove material from a part.
In CNC machining milling, a CNC machine usually feeds the part in the same direction as the tool rotation, while in manual milling, the machine feeds the part in opposite direction as the tool rotates. Operational capabilities of the milling process include end milling (cutting into workpieces with shallow, flat surfaces and flat bottom cavities) and peripheral milling (cutting into workpieces with deep cavities, such as recesses and threads).    

Turning is a machining process in which a single point cutting tool is used to remove material from a rotating workpiece. In CNC machining turning, a CNC machining lathe feeds the tool in a linear motion along the surface of the rotating part, removing material from the circumference until the desired diameter is reached to create parts with external and internal cylindrical internal features, such as grooves, tapers, and threads. The operational capabilities of the turning process include boring, facing, grooving and thread cutting.

3. Surface Finishing Options
Most of the housings for CNC machining medical devices are cosmetic parts, which usually require painting, sandblasting, silk-screening, laser etching, anodising and powder coating. Other parts will be selected according to the parts and material characteristics of the corresponding surface treatment.

The picture on the right shows a galvanized aluminum alloy medical table. CNC machining, sheet metal technology and vacuum casting technology are used to process various components of the medical equipment. Finally, a perfect medical equipment is assembled and delivered to the customer. The customer expressed that he is very satisfied with the finished product.
