Challenge: An industry-leading medical supplier of surgical endoscopic instruments was utilizing "machined from stock" for many of the metal components within its instruments. With the growth of non-invasive surgical procedures, this customer was seeing massive growth in its instrumentation. Along with market growth came the need to economize the company's components.
Solution: Stork Kelch evaluated several designs for alternate production processing. Working with the customer, both investment castings and metal injection molding were specified to produce cost-effective medical-grade components, ultimately saving the customer significant production costs by reducing the need for additional machining operations.
These new processes also allowed the company's engineers to take full advantage of these new metal–working technologies, thereby enhancing their designs.
