🏦 Why Investment Casting is Vital in Medical Device Manufacturing

Investment casting, or lost-wax casting, is widely used for its ability to produce:

  • Complex geometries with minimal machining

  • Tight tolerances for critical use

  • Smooth surface finishes suitable for surgical-grade components

  • Reliable, repeatable outcomes across multiple production runs

Medical implants such as orthopedic screws, hip stems, surgical instruments, bone plates, and spinal implants often require high strength, fine details, and flawless finishing. Investment casting supports all of these at scale.
