We run progressive and compound dies for medical device components in stainless, titanium and copper alloys. ISO 13485:2016 processes, ±0.005 mm tolerance, and full traceability from raw material to final inspection.
Most medical stamping problems are decided long before the press runs.
A sharp edge on a lancet or a retainer can injure the operator or a patient. If the die is not maintained on a schedule, edge wear shows up as a burr you only catch under magnification. We track die life and re-sharpen before it reaches that point.
A sensor bracket that leaves the press flat can bow after stress relief or passivation. If that drift is not measured on a granite plate, it reaches assembly and the stack no longer closes. Flatness must be specified, measured and inspected, not assumed.
An auditor asks for the melt lot behind a stainless clip and the supplier answers with a general mill certificate. Without heat-number traceability on the route card, the whole lot is suspect. Retesting or scrapping a finished batch costs far more than the paperwork.
Laser-cut samples pass bench testing, then the production die produces a different edge condition and a different burr height. The design was never checked against real die constraints. Fix the process window before tooling is cut, not after.
Two capabilities decide whether the run holds tolerance: tool design and in-process measurement.
Progressive dies suit high-volume parts with several forming stations: a clip, a shield, a contact spring. Compound dies suit flatter parts where burr height and flatness matter more than speed. We pick the die architecture after looking at the drawing, the material and the annual quantity.
Strip layout is where cost is set. We check strip width, bridge width, pilot holes and scrap ratio before quoting. A layout that wastes 30 % of the strip is a layout that charges you for metal you never use.
A stamped blank rarely ships as-is. Deburring, tumbling, passivation, electropolishing, plating, laser marking and assembly are performed under the same quality system, so the part does not travel between vendors and lose its traceability.
For implant-adjacent or reusable surgical parts, passivation and cleaning matter as much as geometry. We work to the surface condition on the drawing and document the sequence on the route card.
Use this to decide whether a part belongs on a die, a laser or a mill.

One supplier for the die, the part, the finish and the inspection report.
Progressive and compound dies for stainless, titanium, copper and aluminum strip. Burr height controlled to the drawing.
Laser cutting, bending and welding for enclosures, chassis and brackets that sit beside the stamped parts.
Laser-cut and machined samples before the die is cut, so the design is proven at bench scale.
127 high-precision machines for inserts, fixtures and small runs that never justify a die.
Anodizing, plating, passivation, bead blasting and laser marking, all documented on the route card.
Sub-assembly, functional checks and dimensional reports before the box is sealed.

Six things a procurement engineer can actually verify.
ISO 13485:2016 sits alongside ISO 9001:2015, IATF 16949:2016 and ISO 27001:2022. Device makers can audit against a system they already recognize.
Critical stamped features are held to ±0.005 mm and verified on the inspection bench, not inferred from the die drawing.
Metal forming since 2011, across stainless, titanium, copper and aluminum strip, in three wholly-owned plants.
A quotation and a free DFM analysis come back within 12 hours. Production can start within 24 hours of approval.
Parts ship in 3–5 days on standard programs. Historical late-delivery probability sits below 2%.
Uploads are secure, drawings stay confidential, and a non-disclosure agreement is available before you send the first file.
Stainless blanks and spring elements that must survive repeated sterilization without edge damage.
Shields, contacts and retainers where flatness and burr height drive the assembly stack.
Small stamped housings and clips in titanium and aluminum where weight and fit matter.
Traceable stainless and titanium parts with heat-number records and inspection reports.
Volume decides it. Below roughly 5,000 pieces a year, laser cutting plus forming is usually cheaper because there is no die to amortize.
Above that, progressive stamping wins on piece price, repeatability and edge quality. We will tell you when the crossover sits for your part instead of pushing tooling you do not need.
It depends on material thickness and edge geometry. For thin stainless strip, burr height on a maintained die is small enough that a profile projector confirms it, and we specify it as a limit on the drawing rather than a vague note.
Where an edge must be rounded rather than broken, we add tumbling or electropolishing as a secondary operation.
Yes. We form TA1, TA2 and TC4 titanium, plus C110 and beryllium copper for contacts and electrodes.
These materials behave differently from stainless. Titanium springs back more, and beryllium copper needs its own tooling clearance. Both need a tool trial before we commit to a production rate.
The heat number goes on the route card and follows the lot through stamping and finishing. Mill certificates are available on request.
If a customer needs certificates of conformance with the shipment, we raise them against the same lot records so the paperwork and the parts match.
There is no minimum order quantity. We run from a single prototype to 10,000+ part runs.
Prototypes are usually laser-cut or machined first, so the design is tested before die cost is committed.
It comes back with the quotation within 12 hours. We flag features that cannot be stamped, strip layout options, and any tolerance that needs to be relaxed or inspected differently.
The goal is to move those decisions to the quoting stage, when changing them is still cheap.
Uploads are secure and confidential. If your legal team needs an agreement in place first, a non-disclosure agreement is available on request before any file is sent.
We do not share customer drawings or part designs outside the project team.
Raw material check on receipt, in-process monitoring during the run, and final inspection before the box is sealed. Every shipment is 100% inspected.
Dimensional and surface reports are available on request. If a drawing calls out a specific characteristic, we record it.
