In high-precision industries like medical device manufacturing, intricate parts with close tolerances are the norm, not the exception. At MedFab, we specialize in delivering extremely complex parts and components on tight timelines, at the lowest possible cost. This would not be possible without our extensive expertise in 5-axis CNC machining. How 5-Axis Machining Expands Our Part Design Capabilities Traditional CNC machines work on three axes–X, Y, and Z–allowing them to quickly and precisely create simple three-dimensional parts. However, these machines can still be limited in what they can accomplish within a single set-up. In order to get more complex features, operators have to adjust the machine, re-clamping and re-positioning the workpiece so that the interior tooling can actually reach the […]

For industries where even the smallest mechanical deviation can have disastrous consequences, MedFab Precision Solutions has built a reputation for micro machining parts with tolerances measured in micrometers. Achieving sub-0.001″ (25 microns) features consistently necessitates having the most advanced machinery, of course. But machinery alone is not enough. You also need the talent, skill, and expertise to use that machinery to the limits of its potential. Work of the highest precision requires a holistic system calibrated toward precision, process control, and engineering excellence. At MedFab Precision Solutions, we specialize in high-precision micro machining, delivering intricate components with exceptional accuracy. Our advanced 3-, 4-, and 5-axis CNC milling and Swiss-type turning capabilities allow us to achieve tolerances as tight as ±0.0002 […]

You may already know MedFab as a reliable provider of components that play a vital role in highly advanced medical procedures, semiconductors, and other high-precision industries. What you may not know is that MedFab also provides an array of value-add services to help our customers simplify procurement, streamline operations, and accelerate product delivery of complex assemblies.  When your main focus is on innovation, your resources are best spent on the research and development of new products, not the manufacture, assembly, and distribution of existing ones. MedFab can support such positioning by contributing advanced assembly services, in addition to the machining of individual parts and components.  MedFab Precision Assembly Services in Action CASE STUDY: Neurosurgery Cart A leading developer of laser […]

In industries like medical devices, aerospace, semiconductors, and advanced manufacturing, speed to market can be as critical as performance. Rapid prototyping provides the bridge between a concept on paper and a product in hand. By enabling fast, iterative development, it helps innovators prove concepts, refine designs, secure funding, assess viability, attain certification, and solve potential challenges well before scaling into full production. Every Type of Prototype A complete prototyping journey often unfolds in successive stages. With the successful completion of each stage, the finished product comes closer into view: Techniques Used in Prototyping Two core technologies dominate modern prototyping: Using these methods together allows teams to balance speed, cost, and accuracy throughout the development cycle. Choosing the Right Prototyping Partner […]

In high-precision medical manufacturing, the expectation of quality is understood. In fact, high quality is often taken for granted, even as the variables of expediency and economy are pushed to the limit. Prioritizing cost savings and shorter lead times above all else can lead to all manner of inconsistencies as you cycle through vendors and suppliers in a constant search for the lowest possible price.  Meanwhile, you are failing to build relationships with qualified partners whose pricing and performance you can trust. Over time, those relationships have an inherent value that is far greater than any savings you might realize in the short term from some discount supplier.   “Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.” –Warren Buffet […]

At MedFab Precision Solutions, process engineering is more than a service we provide; it is a tenet we live by. Process engineering is the key to our ability to achieve precision, efficiency, and innovation in everything we do. Whether producing precision parts for medical products or complex components for aerospace and semiconductor markets, MedFab relies on well-defined engineering best practices to optimize throughput without compromising quality. Design-for-Manufacturing (DFM) & Rapid Prototyping Our Process Engineering team works closely with customers from the earliest stages of development to ensure that every part on the drawing board is optimized from the start for maximum manufacturability. By identifying potential production challenges early, we eliminate the late-stage revisions and delays that can lay waste to […]

Accelerating Medical Device Innovation Through Rapid Prototyping Proof-of-Concept, Alpha, Beta, and Pilot Prototypes Bringing a new medical device to market is a complex and time-consuming process. Beyond the effort of design and development, there are seemingly endless regulatory hurdles to clear, along with multiple rounds of testing, and the need to satisfy multiple audiences of professionals, patients, regulators, and, often, investors, all of whom may have differing (and sometimes conflicting) agendas. While every case comes with unique challenges and priorities, they all share a need for expediency. For companies aiming to stay competitive in today’s fast-paced healthcare landscape, minimizing time to market is critical.  Trust MedFab Expertise At MedFab, we specialize in helping our clients accelerate product development with rapid […]
