Complex Machining
Specializing in Difficult-to-Machine Components
In today’s fast-evolving MedTech and Pharma landscape, the demand for smaller, more complex, and high-performance medical devices is accelerating. Meeting these demands requires more than just standard machining, it requires deep expertise, relentless innovation, and uncompromising precision. Cadence brings over 15 years of focused experience in medical device machining, partnering with OEM engineers to transform design challenges into real-world solutions that improve patient outcomes.
Our machining technology has evolved in step with the industry. What began with a 5-axis mill and small 5-axis Swiss mill-turn platform has grown into a 13-axis machining powerhouse, where three tools can operate simultaneously to achieve unparalleled accuracy and efficiency. This level of sophistication enables us to tackle the most complex geometries and tightest tolerances demanded by today’s implantable and minimally invasive devices.
Cadence offers a wide range of advanced machining services, including:
-
Swiss-style machining integrated with laser cutting for micro-precision features
-
5-axis CNC machining for intricate, multi-surface components
-
Expertise in exotic materials such as nitinol, cobalt-chrome, titanium, and high-performance polymers
-
High-volume automated manufacturing for consistent quality and speed to market
Our vertically integrated approach ensures seamless collaboration throughout the product lifecycle, from early prototyping through full-scale production. Whether you’re developing surgical instruments, orthopedic implants, delivery systems, or other complex medical or pharmaceutical components, Cadence has the capability and commitment to bring your vision to life.
