Medical Device Integrated Hybrid Manufacturing

Combining metal additive manufacturing (AM) and CNC machining is a proven industrial workflow for orthopedic, dental, and custom-made medical devices, enabling complex geometries and high functional integration.

The next level of performance is now achieved through the integration of Hybrid Manufacturing into an end-to-end process that directly interconnects AM and precision machining. The key differentiator is the ability to CNC machine parts directly on the build plate or through advanced fixturing, ensuring dimensional accuracy, consistency, and robust process.

Successful implementation requires deep expertise in deformation-free printing, optimal part positioning, tailored heat treatment, and precise coordinate transfer between additive and subtractive steps. Building on a robust AM experience, the Swiss m4m Center will showcase hybrid manufacturing workflows that reduce lead time, lower the cost of quality, and unlock new potential for innovative medical devices.
