Yet, it is CNC machining for the medical industry that makes the precise manufacturing of these parts – and your successful treatments – possible. At Rainford Precision we understand the highly specialised nature of CNC machining medical devices and the next-level precision that’s required. Whether it’s dental implants, surgical tools or hip replacements, we can supply the right tools and CNC solutions to enable accurate manufacture down to micron level. ![finepart stent - medical](https://www.rainfordprecision.com/hubfs/finepart%20stent%20-%20medical.png) ### The Role Of High-Precision CNC Machining In the Medical Industry Manufacturing in the medical industry is highly specialised and challenging – not only do parts produced have to be exceptionally accurate, but they must also be made from materials compatible with the human body, suitable for sterilisation and which minimise bacterial contamination and corrosion. It’s why manufacturers adhere to ISO13485, a voluntary standard that specifies quality management systems for medical devices, and other regulatory standards which are non-negotiable.  CNC machining for medical purposes is essential because it minimises defects, ensures repeatable precision and enhances the reliability of medical devices. It also means parts made from difficult-to-machine materials like cobalt chrome, titanium, stainless steel, ceramics and resistant plastics can be manufactured with an exceptionally high level of accuracy.  ![image009](https://www.rainfordprecision.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image009.jpg?width=600&height=500&name=image009.jpg "image009") Materials such as ceramics, used for things like dental implants, dental cleaning tools and prosthetics, are notoriously difficult to machine with a high risk of cracks and fractures. This is combined with growing customer demand for extremely tight tolerances. Without precision CNC centres such accuracy would not be achievable.

The company’s advanced machine tool portfolio includes Kern’s 5-axis machining centres, renowned for ±1µm precision, and Benzinger’s high-accuracy turning centres, which enhance productivity and flexibility in medical component production. Rainford also introduces PEMTec’s precision electrochemical machining (PECM) technology, enabling sub-micron accuracy and superior surface finishes without thermal distortion ideal for delicate medical implants. Additionally, Finepart’s micro abrasive waterjet systems offer non-thermal cutting with ±2.5µm positional accuracy, critical for heat-sensitive materials like Nitinol widely utilised in medical applications. The newly added Innolite range brings diamond turning capabilities to optical and medical mould tool manufacturing. Through these technologies, Rainford empowers medical manufacturers with cutting-edge precision, efficiency, and innovation. ![Image of Kern Micro HD application in aerospace industry](https://143374193.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hub/143374193/hubfs/Image%20of%20Kern%20Micro%20HD%20application%20in%20aerospace%20industry.webp?width=1200&length=1200&name=Image%20of%20Kern%20Micro%20HD%20application%20in%20aerospace%20industry.webp) ![TNI\_web](https://143374193.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hub/143374193/hubfs/TNI_web.png?width=1200&length=1200&name=TNI_web.png) ![Untitled design - 2025-06-05T122331.357](https://143374193.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hub/143374193/hubfs/Untitled%20design%20-%202025-06-05T122331.357.png?width=1200&length=1200&name=Untitled%20design%20-%202025-06-05T122331.357.png) ![\_Innolite IL1600 (1)](https://143374193.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hub/143374193/hubfs/_Innolite%20IL1600%20(1).png?width=1200&length=1200&name=_Innolite%20IL1600%20(1).png) ![Finepart Waterjet ](https://143374193.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hub/143374193/hubfs/Finepart%20Waterjet%20.png?width=1200&length=1200&name=Finepart%20Waterjet%20.png) [Request A Quote](https://www.rainfordprecision.com/request-a-quote) ### Why Choose Rainford Precision?
