CNC machining tips and trends

When it comes to machining parts for the medical industry, not all CNC machine shops are created equal. Medical components are often extraordinarily complex, manufactured to extremely tight tolerances, and designed for applications where lives are quite literally on the line.

Protomatic is dedicated to providing effective solutions to the evolving challenges facing the medical industry. We understand that medical devices are constantly changing to keep pace with advancements in technology and medical practices.

All of us at Protomatic hope this holiday season brings you happiness, joy, and prosperity.

When machining materials such as aluminum, internal stresses can create warped parts and in some cases result in cracking after machining. That’s why aluminum manufactures such as Alcoa™/Arconic™ have developed processes to temper internal stresses, and stress-relief methods to minimize them.

Cybersecurity breaches that cause computer shutdowns at large, medium and small companies are commonplace. In fact, a large company is impacted with an attack almost weekly.

Protomatic is a trusted leader in medical device manufacturing, producing highly precise medical devices for a wide range of applications. In the medical field, quality and accuracy are non-negotiable, which is why our team approaches every project with unmatched attention to detail.

At Protomatic, laser marking and engraving precision CNC parts has significantly evolved over the past few years.

The process of precision CNC machining allows for the exact tooling needs of various businesses to be met through the transformation of raw materials into refined products through the precise removal of material.

Protomatic is a precision CNC shop specializing in prototype and short-run production components for the medical and aerospace markets. A key area of emphasis is our ability to apply the right methods for superior assembly operations.

Cleaning precision components involves much more than simply washing parts after production. At Protomatic, we understand that effective cleaning begins with controlling the manufacturing processes themselves.

For Protomatic to maintain the highest levels of life-saving precision for the aerospace and medical markets, it is vital that our CNC machinery operate at absolute peak levels of performance. When a replacement is needed, a replacement is made. No questions asked. Well, maybe one.

At Protomatic, we are constantly focused on managing costs—both for the materials we source and the precision parts we deliver. As global markets shift and tariff policies remain uncertain, we’re taking proactive steps to control inflationary costs without compromising quality.
