Medical device machining: non-implant parts and lab instrument components
Clear polycarbonate covers, PEEK and POM components, and stainless and aluminum housings for medical equipment, analyzers, and lab instruments. Non-implant parts, measured on our CMM, with a dimension report on request.

Materials for medical and lab equipment
We machine the grade on your drawing. These are the ones device and instrument makers ask for most.
| Material | Typical parts | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Polycarbonate (PC) | Clear covers, windows, fluid guides | Flame polishing via partner; holes drilled to avoid stress cracks |
| PEEK | Insulating parts, parts that see sterilizing or cleaning chemicals | Threaded inserts fitted in-house |
| POM (acetal), nylon | Guides, bushings, small mechanism parts | Low friction, stable dimensions |
| Stainless 304 / 316L | Frames, shafts, probe holders, fittings | Passivation or electropolishing via partner |
| Aluminum 6061 | Housings, base plates, instrument frames | Anodizing in clear, black, or colors |
| Titanium TC4 (Ti-6Al-4V) | Light, strong instrument parts | Machined in-house; see our titanium machining services |
Clear parts that stay clear
Covers and windows on medical and lab equipment are cosmetic parts as much as mechanical ones. Small machining choices decide whether they look right.
- Tool marks removedMachined faces and edges are flame polished by a partner, so the part reads as clear, not frosted.
- No cracks around holesHoles in PC are drilled and finished so they don't start stress cracks when screws go in.
- Protected until it reaches youClear parts are packed so faces don't touch or scratch in transit.
- Measured like any metal partHole positions and outlines checked against your drawing before packing.
Medical, optical, and research parts we have made
Real parts photographed at our factory. Customer names and drawings are never shown.
Medical device part
Non-implant part. Stainless features electropolished to a bright, smooth finish.
Clear cover for a medical device
Curved channel and mounting holes in clear PC, edges flame polished by a partner.
Optical tube assembly
Threaded tube with knurled end caps, anodized matte, delivered assembled.
Research institute prototype
Turned grooves and milled internal pockets in titanium, made as a one-off sample.
PEEK part with inserts
Turned and milled PEEK, with threaded inserts fitted in-house. More on PEEK machining.
Bushings, washers, and nozzles
Small turned plastic parts with clean bores and threads.
Built around how instrument parts are bought
Documentation you can file
Dimension reports against your drawing, CMM reports on request, and a free first-article report on your first order.
Cosmetic faces treated as features
Tell us which faces are visible. We machine, finish, and pack the part to keep them unmarked.
Mixed plastic and metal in one order
PC, PEEK, POM, stainless, aluminum, and titanium parts for one instrument, quoted and shipped together.
From prototype to production
Prototype parts first; the program is reused for the batch, and unit cost drops sharply from 20 pieces.
Instrument parts cost far less from 20 pieces
Most of the cost of a one-off part is the work before the first chip: drawing review, programming, fixturing, and proving out the first part. On one piece, that piece carries all of it. On 20, it is shared twenty ways. Ask for prices at a few quantities, for example 5, 20, and 50, and we'll quote each one.
- Setup, programming, and first-article check paid once per batch
- Plastic and metal parts for one instrument quoted as one order
- Repeat builds reorder from the same program and fixtures

Non-implant parts: clear covers and windows, housings, frames, guides, bushings, insulating parts, and fittings, in PC, PEEK, POM, nylon, stainless steel, aluminum, and titanium.
No. We make non-implant parts for medical equipment and lab instruments. Device compliance follows your design and your quality system.
Yes. Machined faces and edges can be flame polished through a partner, and holes are drilled so they do not start stress cracks. Parts come back to us for inspection and packing.
Dimension reports against your drawing, CMM reports from our in-house Hexagon CMM, and a free first-article report on your first order. Material certificates come from the material supplier on request.
There is no fixed minimum quantity, but our main work is batches of 20 to 10,000 pieces per part number; prototypes are welcome as the first step toward a batch. From 20 pieces the unit cost drops sharply, because drawing review, programming, and fixturing are shared across the batch. Ask for prices at 5, 20, and 50 pieces and we will quote each one.
Drawing review with manufacturability feedback in the quote, a free first-article inspection report, and our remake guarantee: parts that do not meet your drawing are remade at our cost, with freight paid both ways. We reply by email within 24 hours and on WhatsApp within 12 hours.
