Our Bone Screw and Implant Screw Machining Services

From prototype to full production, we deliver precision-machined implant screws in titanium, stainless steel, and specialty alloys.

Swiss Turning

Ideal for small-diameter bone screws and implant fasteners, our multi-axis Swiss turning centers achieve diameters as small as .010" with tolerances down to ±.0002"—critical for orthopedic and spinal screw geometries.

CNC Turning

High-precision CNC turning for cylindrical implant screw blanks and cannulated screw bodies, handling complex geometries in titanium, stainless steel, and PEEK with tight tolerances and smooth surface finishes.

CNC Milling

Multi-axis CNC milling for implant screw heads, drive features, and complex screw profiles requiring 3-, 4-, or 5-axis machining to achieve precise hex, torx, or custom drive geometries.

Production Prototyping

Production-intent prototype runs for bone screws machined on the same equipment and to the same standards as full production orders, enabling seamless scale-up without reprogram or re-qualification.

Quality Inspection

Comprehensive CMM-based inspection and dimensional reporting using Global Advantage CMM, OASIS optical inspection, and Keyence systems—measuring critical screw dimensions with full documentation and Certificates of Conformance.

Material Expertise

Experienced machining of implant-grade titanium (Ti-6Al-4V), 316L stainless steel, cobalt-chrome alloys, and PEEK—materials that meet the demanding biocompatibility and mechanical requirements of FDA-regulated devices.
