Why Surface Finishing Matters for Implants
- Dimensional accuracy and functional interfaces
- Controlled roughness (Ra/Rz) for design intent
- Consistent cosmetic appearance and defect-free surfaces
- Deburring and edge quality for small precision features
- Cleanliness and preparation for downstream processes
- Repeatable outcomes across prototype and production builds
Implantmfg focuses on tight tolerances, complex geometries, and difficult-to-machine materials used in medical implants, pairing precision machining with controlled finishing to meet your drawings and specifications.
What We Finish
- Orthopedic implant components (plates, screws, stems, inserts, small precision parts)
- Spinal implant components (cages, hooks, connectors, screws, custom elements)
- Dental implant components (abutments, bases, custom interfaces, small turned parts)
- Trauma implant components (fixation elements, low-profile plates, screws)
- Custom implant parts and precision interfaces
- Titanium and PEEK implant components
Note: We do not sell off‑the‑shelf implants. We manufacture custom components to your drawings, models, materials, and technical requirements.
Materials & Typical Surface Finishing Options
Titanium (Ti‑6Al‑4V / Grade 5)
- Machining finish control to specified Ra
- Micro‑blasting for matte textures
- Polishing/buffing for critical interfaces
- Edge rounding and micro‑deburring
- Chemical cleaning and preparation
- Anodizing for color identification
Ra: ~0.2–1.6 µm for precision; broader via blasting or polishing.
316L Stainless Steel
- Machining finish control
- Electropolishing for smoothness
- Passivation (e.g., ASTM A967)
- Vibratory/tumbling finishing
- Micro‑deburring for tolerance
Ra: ~0.1–0.8 µm via electropolish; higher as specified.
Cobalt Chrome
- High-precision finish control
- Polishing of bearing/mating surfaces
- Electropolishing (where specified)
- Micro‑deburring & edge breaks
Ra: application‑specific; validated by prototypes & FAI.
PEEK
- Precision finish, anti-smearing
- Micro‑blasting for matte texture
- Hand finishing for edges/cosmetics
- Polishing of sealing/mating areas
Ra: ~0.4–1.6 µm for interfaces; textures per drawing.
All ranges are illustrative. Final processes and targets are defined by your drawings and confirmed through sample parts, coupons, and inspection.
Finishing Processes We Support
- Machining finish control (toolpath, cutters, Ra)
- Micro‑deburring and edge finishing
- Mechanical: hand polishing, buffing, brushing
- Media: vibratory/tumbling for uniform surface
- Micro‑blasting (glass bead, alumina, etc.)
- Electropolishing (316L, CoCr)
- Passivation (stainless steel, ASTM A967)
- Titanium anodizing (color ID, oxide build)
- Chemical cleaning and surface prep
- Masking strategies for select finishing
- Surface prep for downstream coating
Where external special processes are required, we coordinate them per your documentation and standards, and integrate results into your project records.
