    Computerized numerical control (CNC) machining is a critical manufacturing process for fabricating medical device parts and components. Equipment manufacturers continue to improve these machines to meet the ever-increasing performance metrics expected by the medical industry, especially those for an expanding array of minimally invasive surgical procedures. Therefore, medical device manufacturers (MDMs) are designing smaller and more complex devices with tighter tolerances. Engineers continue to push the limits of current machining technologies in their designs, asking for more capabilities and greater functionality. The urgency by MDMs to meet these needs is passed down through the supply chain to cutting tool manufacturers, robotics companies, and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software engineers to innovate and collaborate on machine solutions—and beat the competition to the market.

    Automation and robotic-assisted CNC machining are a key focus because they improve efficiency, quality, and tolerance control. Advanced software continues to improve the automation of tasks such as welding, hole punching, and laser cutting. The efficienci
