Industries >> Medical machining
Continual advances in medical component size reduction require the machining of more and more complex small parts. Our medical wire EDM services are a perfect solution for the required repeatability and tight tolerances that these complex medical parts demand. At XACT we have extensive experience with medical device machining and understand the quick development and multiple stages of refinement required by medical manufacturing.
Our quality management department has the experience and equipment required for precision medical machining. Previous medical component EDM machining projects have included femoral, tibial, resection cut blocks, endoscopic components, laparoscopic graspers and forceps, bone plates and other medical components. We work with many materials including titanium, platinum, medical grade stainless steel, nitinol, and tungsten. Wire EDM is ideal for any conductive material, regardless of hardness.
Premier Partner for Medical Wire EDM Services
XACT is solely focused on wire EDM services. The majority of our projects consist of medical parts and components, but we also have expertise with tooling, gauges and prototypes. Clients can rely on our pool of over 45 EDM machines, skilled machinists and engineering expertise when precision is vital. We make it a point to consistently purchase new programming, machines, and inspection equipment to insure that we can always offer the latest technology and the utmost precision, along with the highest production capability.

Preferred Location for Medical Device Machining
Wire EDM shops located in southeastern Wisconsin and northeastern Illinois mean additional benefits for our medical manufacturing EDM services. We enjoy a lower average shop rate than most east and west coast locations. Even when shipping time is considered, our delivery times to coastal locations are better than wire EDM shops located closer to the coasts. Many medical parts are small and light and can easily be shipped overnight. In addition, southeastern Wisconsin is home to many skilled machinists and an excellent network of materials suppliers. Our region is also an easy drive to other large Midwest medical markets such as Minneapolis and Warsaw, IN – the heart of the U.S. orthopedics industry.
