Micromachining requires little or no tooling during the design iterations associated with medical device development, including those used for minimally invasive surgery. Best-in-class multi-axis CNC and Swiss screw equipment for prototype and short-run production. The technology lets designers and engineers obtain precision high-quality plastic components with features as small as .0008-in (.020 mm) and take a solid model or CAD drawing to a finished product in three to four weeks. The company has the capability of micromachining high performance plastics such as PEEK, PC, PEI, PES, PPSU, PSU, PPS, SRP, TPI, and LCP.
