Surgical Instruments
The Swiss m4m Center provides comprehensive capabilities for the engineering and production of surgical instruments in both metal and polymer materials.
An ISO 13485-certified infrastructure integrates additive manufacturing with CNC milling to enhance precision, functionality, and manufacturability in the development of complex medical devices.
High-performance surgical instruments are produced using medical-grade stainless steel, alongside polymer components for applications such as surgical guides.
Durability and biocompatibility are ensured through mastery of key post-processing steps, including surface treatments to improve corrosion resistance and the assembly of functional components for complete, ready-to-use solutions.
A rapid functional prototyping service enables production lead times up to 75% faster than conventional milling methods, supporting faster design iterations and significantly reduced time-to-market.
This hybrid manufacturing approach combines the advantages of additive manufacturing and CNC milling to enable the efficient production of complex, high-quality metal and polymer components. As a result, development cycles are accelerated and innovative surgical instruments and implants can be delivered to patients with greater speed and reliability.
