Micromachining for Medical Devices

Did you know micromachining technologies can now produce parts smaller than a grain of salt? These breakthrough micromachining technologies pave the way for exciting advancements in medical devices. In this article, we explore the materials, features, geometries, and dimensions associated with micromachining for medical devices, showcasing the incredible potential it holds for the medical industry.

What is micromachining?

Micromachining refers to the manufacture of parts at a micro scale, typically at 500µ (.020in) or less. With the latest advancements in machining technologies, extremely small designs have become a very viable solution for production grade parts. Miniaturization is set to pave the way for many new advances in medical device technologies.
