Micro Bead Blasting
C-Axis provides micro bead blasting to achieve smooth, uniform surface textures on precision medical device components. This controlled finishing process removes minor imperfections, reduces glare, and enhances cosmetic appearance without compromising dimensional accuracy. Micro bead blasting is ideal for surgical, implantable, and minimally invasive parts that require consistent, high-quality surface finishes.
Our micro bead blasting systems use fine media, controlled pressure, and carefully calibrated parameters to deliver predictable, repeatable surface finishes across even the most complex geometries. C-Axis ensures every blasted component maintains its critical dimensions while achieving the desired texture and cosmetic quality. With integrated inspection and medical-grade process controls, we deliver finishing results that meet strict regulatory and aesthetic requirements.
Advantages:
- Smooth, uniform surface textures ideal for surgical and implantable devices
- Controlled media and pressure to preserve critical dimensions and features
- Enhanced cosmetic appearance with reduced glare and improved finish quality
- Excellent for complex geometries including contours, pockets, and small features
- Improves coating and finishing adhesion for downstream processes
- Repeatable, consistent results through controlled, validated parameters
- Compatible with stainless steel, titanium, nitinol, and specialty alloys
- Ideal for both prototype and production volumes
Examples of Micro Bead Blasting Applications
- Surgical instrument components requiring a uniform, glare-free finish
- Implantable components needing smooth, biocompatible surfaces
- Small, intricate parts where controlled media flow is criticaly
- Geometry-sensitive features such as grooves, contours, and recesses
- Components requiring improved cosmetic appearance without altering dimensions
- Pre-finishing surface preparation for electropolishing, coating, or marking

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
