Micro Machining
C-Axis specializes in micro machining for extremely small, high-precision components used in implantable, surgical, and minimally invasive medical devices. Our advanced multi-axis and Swiss machining platforms allow us to create intricate features, micro-scale geometries, and ultra-tight tolerances with exceptional accuracy and repeatability. Whether for prototypes or high-volume production, our micro machining capabilities support the most demanding device designs.
Our micro machining operations are engineered to deliver reliable precision at the smallest scales. With high-speed spindles, precision tooling, vibration-controlled environments, and advanced inspection systems, C-Axis produces micro features that meet strict dimensional and functional requirements. Our experienced machinists and engineers understand the unique challenges of miniature components, ensuring consistent performance and regulatory readiness for every program.

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
