Agile Manufacturing for Medical Device Innovation
DFM Analysis
With First Part, you receive a design-for-manufacturing (DFM) analysis on every project, highlighting opportunities for better and improved design that saves time and money.
Low-volume manufacturing
Mitigate budgetary constraints with our low-volume manufacturing services for making 1-1,000 parts in as fast as 24 hours.
Rapid prototyping
Use 3D printing and precision CNC machining to make high fidelity prototypes and deliver personalized solutions unique to the circumstance of each patient. Using sterilizable, non-corroding and biocompatible materials, you can prototype and tool certain devices that will deliver more accurate cuts, shape patient implants or replace certain fractured parts of the body before operations.
Bridge tooling
Become fail-proof by using affordable bridge tooling options to evaluate high-fidelity prototypes in early markets before capital investment for mass production.
Cross-technology range
Take advantage of diverse manufacturing techniques and production portfolios to ensure that your parts are made with the best technology and most ideal materials.
Material options
Choose and leverage the strengths of medical metal alloys, medical-grade silicone rubber, 3D printing filaments, resins, elastomers and high-temperature plastics to deliver functionality in all your parts.
Common Medical Manufacturing Services
CNC Machining
High-precision subtractive manufacturing for medical-grade metals (e.g., 316L stainless steel, Ti6Al4V). Delivers ±0.025mm tolerances, mirror finishes (Ra <0.4μm), and ISO 13485-certified surgical tools, implant prototypes, and MRI-compatible components.
Rapid Injection Molding
Low-volume thermoplastic production (1-10k units) using aluminum molds. Processes biocompatible resins (PC, PP) for nasal swabs, fluid connectors, and disposable housing. Achieves 2-4 week lead times with FDA-compliant surface finishes.
3D Printing
Patient-specific solutions via DMLS/SLA: porous titanium implants, anatomical models (MultiJet photopolymers), and sterilizable surgical guides. Supports ISO 10993-certified materials with 150μm layer resolution for complex geometries.
Urethane Casting
Silicone-mold-based duplication for soft medical components: cushioning pads, ergonomic grips, and biocompatible prototypes. Uses medical-grade urethanes (Shore 20A-80D) to mimic final materials at 1/3 the cost of injection molding.

What are the best materials for medical applications?
Titanium
High-strength internal joint and skeletal substitutes. Titanium is strong, temperature resistant, 3D printable, lightweight and corrosion resistant.
Stainless steel and Inconel
Various alloys of steel being their temperature resistance, strength and corrosion resistance. Ideal for swiss-type surgical equipment.
Medical-grade silicone rubber, TPE
Used in the manufacture of custom fittings and seals. These materials have laudable electrical, chemical and thermal resistance. They are bio-compatible, making them suitable for applications that may involve skin contact.
POM, PEEK, PEI
PEEK is a heat-sterilizable material that can be used as high-performance plastic. PEEK, POM and PEI are all suitable for use as joint replacements. They are high temperature and creep resistant, and sterilizable.
Nylon and ABS
Excellent for use in medical appliances. These materials are 3D-printable and very affordable.
