Electropolish
C-Axis provides precision electropolishing services to achieve ultra-smooth, corrosion-resistant surfaces for implantable, surgical, and minimally invasive medical device components. Our controlled electropolishing process removes micro-burrs, reduces surface roughness, and enhances biocompatibility without compromising dimensional integrity. The result is a clean, polished finish that meets stringent medical and regulatory standards.
Our electropolishing operations are engineered to deliver consistent, high-quality results across a wide range of medical-grade materials. With carefully monitored chemistry, temperature control, and process timing, C-Axis ensures uniform metal removal and mirror-like finishes that support superior device performance. Our team integrates electropolishing seamlessly with machining and inspection, providing a fully controlled finishing workflow.
Advantages:
- Ultra-smooth, mirror-like surface finishes ideal for surgical and implantable devices
- Micro-burr removal without altering key dimensions or critical features
- Enhanced corrosion resistance for long-term material stability and performance
- Improved cleanability and biocompatibility essential for medical applications
- Consistent, repeatable results through controlled bath chemistry and process parameters
- Excellent for complex geometries where mechanical polishing is not feasible
- Supports stainless steel, titanium, and specialty medical alloys
- Fully integrated quality and inspection to verify finish and dimensional conformity
Examples of Electropolished Medical Device Components
- Implantable components requiring smooth, corrosion-resistant surfaces
- Surgical instruments with polished finishes for improved cleanability
- Micro-machined parts where burr removal is critical to functionality
- Precision tubing and wire forms used in minimally invasive devices
- Orthopedic, cardiovascular, and neurovascular components
- Prototype parts needing production-level finishing for testing or evaluation

We look at C-Axis 360 as an opportunity for our customers to save weeks of development time by having their project team come into our facility. Here they are assigned a C-Axis team (an Engineer, Technician, and Machinist) to work with to complete multiple iterations in one sitting, helping to improve the R&D timeline. Instead of doing things in series, our customers can do multiple potential design iterations in parallel and save six or seven weeks in their NPD cycles. — Olson
