Medical parts — implants, screws, instruments — combine small size, tight tolerances, tough biocompatible materials (titanium, cobalt-chrome, PEEK, 316L) and often complex geometry. Swiss-type lathes with live tooling dominate small implants and screws; multi-axis mill-turn and 5-axis machines handle complex implants complete in one setup.
Precision, material control and single-setup completeness matter most. See titanium and stainless, and value Swiss and multi-axis machines at The Machine Blue Book.
