TITANIUM AND COCR
Titanium and cobalt-chromium alloys (CoCr) are critical in medical technology due to their biocompatibility, durability, and mechanical strength. However, they present unique challenges in processing. OTEC offers specialized solutions for precise and burr-free results:
Titanium: Electro Finishing reduces roughness and produces chemically stable, smooth surfaces ideal for in-body use.
CoCr:This hard, wear-resistant material benefits from a tailored combination of Drag Finishing and Electro Finishing for even, high-gloss surfaces, essential for joint implants and prostheses.
3D-PRINTED COMPONENTS
Additive manufacturing (3D printing) offers new possibilities in medical technology but requires extensive post-processing due to layer lines and rough surfaces. OTEC provides customized solutions to address these challenges:
- Mass Finishing:Ideal for complex geometries commonly found in 3D-printed implants or prostheses. Precisely controlled processing smooths surfaces without altering geometry.
- Electro Finishing: Creates mirror-like finishes, enhancing functionality, biocompatibility, and cleanliness. This method is particularly beneficial for 3D-printed stents and implants, extending their service life.
The processing of titanium, CoCr, and 3D-printed materials demonstrates how OTEC leverages innovative technologies to meet the diverse requirements of the medical technology sector.
