Learn More →Medical device manufacturing operates under a different kind of pressure. The tolerances aren’t just engineering requirements — they’re clinical ones. An implant that’s out of spec by a few microns, a surgical instrument with the wrong surface finish, a catheter component that doesn’t seal correctly — the consequences go beyond quality failure.
EDM is the process of choice for the most demanding medical applications — machining titanium, cobalt chrome, stainless steel, and PEEK to tolerances that conventional processes can’t hold, without the cutting forces or heat that would compromise material integrity or surface quality.
EDM Zap engineers EDM solutions for the full range of medical device applications — from orthopedic implant tooling and surgical instrument components to catheter tip geometries and micro-scale features that require precision beyond what most EDM shops can deliver.
Medical Applications
Bone plates, screws, cutting jigs, and trial components in titanium and cobalt chrome — EDM holds the tolerances and surface finishes required for osseointegration and long-term implant performance.
Precision cutting edges, jaw geometries, and articulating features in hardened stainless steel — EDM delivers the accuracy and repeatability that surgical instrument performance depends on.
Micro-scale tip geometries, laser-cut tubes, and precision internal features in nitinol, stainless, and polymer — EDM machines the features that define catheter performance and patient safety.
Injection mold cavities and inserts for medical plastic components — EDM machines the complex internal geometries and surface textures that conventional toolmaking can’t achieve.

What's Included
Sinker EDM in titanium, cobalt chrome, and stainless steel — no cutting force, no heat distortion, and surface finishes controlled to medical device specifications.
Precision machining of features below 0.1mm — slots, holes, internal geometries, and surface textures that define device performance and are unreachable by conventional processes.
Mold cavities, cutting jigs, trial implants, and fixture tooling for medical device manufacturing — held to the same precision standards as the devices they produce.
Multi-head EDM configurations for high-volume medical component production — multiple identical features machined simultaneously to reduce cycle time without compromising precision.
EDM process parameters optimised for medical surface finish requirements — Ra values controlled to specification for osseointegration, tribological performance, and biocompatibility.
Full process documentation and material traceability to support FDA, ISO 13485, and medical device quality management system requirements.
