What is quick turn precision machining?
Quick turn precision machining is a responsive manufacturing approach for producing accurate, highly engineered components without sacrificing process control or quality documentation. MoManTech supports the full path from design-for-manufacturability consultation and prototypes to low-volume and production machining. Available capabilities include CNC milling, turning, Swiss lathe work, wire EDM, additive prototyping, finishing, marking, inspection, and documented quality processes.
What types of medical-device components does MoManTech manufacture?
MoManTech specializes in highly engineered orthopedic medical-device components for spine, trauma, large joint, and foot/ankle applications. The company supports implants and instrumentation through precision CNC machining, Swiss turning, wire EDM, additive prototyping, finishing, laser marking, inspection, and quality documentation. Project suitability is evaluated according to the component design, application, production requirements, and applicable regulatory needs.
Does MoManTech support prototypes and low-volume production?
Yes. MoManTech provides contract manufacturing for prototype development and low-volume production of precision-machined components and 3D-printed parts. Its capabilities are intended to support customers developing new orthopedic devices as well as established OEMs requiring repeat production. Design-for-manufacturability consultation and comprehensive quality control can remain part of the engagement as a project progresses toward production.
What machining capabilities are available?
Available capabilities include CNC milling and turning, multi-axis Swiss lathe work, wire EDM, additive manufacturing, finishing, laser marking, and part inspection. The facility uses equipment such as Mazak Integrex turn/mills, Haas and Hurco vertical mills, Citizen and NexTurn Swiss lathes, wire EDM machines, and a 7-axis collaborative robot. The appropriate process depends on the component design and requirements.
Can MoManTech help improve a component design for manufacturing?
Yes. Design-for-manufacturability consultation is available during the planning stage of precision-machined component development. MoManTech’s team reviews designs with production efficiency in mind and applies experience in orthopedic medical-device manufacturing, process technology, and lean manufacturing practices. This support can help customers identify practical ways to improve manufacturability, quality, value, and the transition from development into production.
What materials are available for additive prototyping?
Additive prototyping capabilities include metal options such as 17-4 stainless steel, 316L stainless steel, and titanium in beta, along with plastic and composite options. These include Onyx, carbon fiber, Kevlar, fiberglass, and HSHT fiberglass reinforcement. Material selection depends on the prototype or fixturing application, design requirements, and the intended use of the printed part.
How does MoManTech support medical-device quality requirements?
MoManTech operates with ISO 13485:2016 certification and supports FDA-regulated processes for applicable medical-device manufacturing work. Quality support includes controlled processes, trained personnel, comprehensive inspection, defect prevention, and documented quality. The specific documentation and controls for a project depend on the component, customer requirements, and applicable regulatory expectations.
How can I discuss a precision machining project with MoManTech?
Customers can contact MoManTech to discuss a component, prototype, production requirement, or design question. Helpful information may include drawings, models, intended application, material expectations, quantities, and quality or documentation requirements. The team can then evaluate the project and identify relevant machining, prototyping, design-for-manufacturability, inspection, and production capabilities.
