Integrated CAD/CAM/CNC process chain targets medical part manufacturing
CNC solutions designed specifically for the medical industry by Siemens feature the Sinumerik 840D sl CNC, the Sinamics S120 drive system, and high-performance motors that enable machine tool users to create CAD/CAM data with NX CAM, as well as a system platform for high-speed cutting. The manufacture of medical implants and prostheses requires high-precision machining with short machining times that must produce perfect surfaces. This high-precision, high-speed cutting is based on an integrated, high-performance CNC solution that covers the creation of CAD/CAM data, straightforward programming, set-up on the CNC, suitable probes and high-precision milling with innovative tools. High-speed cutting is technically very demanding, precisely because of the high speeds involved. The CNC solutions for these types of milling tasks have correspondingly high spindle speeds and feed rates. These features are essential for the manufacturing of tooth and bone implants, bone screws, and hip prostheses.
