CNC 3axis for Medical
Medical-adjacent hubs cover instrument prototypes, lab automation fixtures, imaging accessories, and non-implant hardware where cleanability, corrosion-resistant materials, and deburred edges matter. Programs frequently compare stainless, PEEK, and aluminum across the same device generation — so this industry page explains material mix and application DFM instead of repeating a full CNC capability essay. No implant-certification or regulator-mark claims belong here; route regulated device questions to human review.
Batch1 industry medical.
Process
CNC 3-axis milling for orthogonal prismatic parts under this industry — see industry overlay for applications; full process essay lives on material hubs.
When medical uses this route
- Surgical instrument prototypes and handles that need fine deburr and controlled edges
- Lab automation nests and manifolds exposed to wipe-down chemicals
- Imaging or diagnostic fixtures requiring stiff, stable plates
- Polymer insulating components (PEEK/POM) alongside stainless fasteners
- Early device builds before production tooling exists
Typical parts
- Instrument handles, triggers, and linkage plates (prototype)
- Cartridge nests and fluidic manifolds for lab gear
- Imaging arm brackets and detector mounts
- Sterile-field tray components (non-implant, finish per drawing)
- PEEK insulating spacers and wear components
Industry DFM
- Specify edge break / radius callouts — sharp burrs fail clinical handling reviews
- Material choice drives cleanability: stainless/PEEK vs untreated mild steel
- Avoid porous as-built textures on wipe-down surfaces unless post-machined
- Do not imply biocompatibility certification from alloy alone
- Tolerance stacks on mating instrument halves need datum clarity early
Material mix
DFM on industry hubs is application-framed (environment, sealing, weight, cleanability, thermal path). Do not paste the full process capability essay or the material-hub alloy DFM list verbatim.
Industry hub bands aggregate across child materials. Qty10 mid often sits between soft aluminum floors and higher titanium/stainless/PEEK leaves — explain the span as a material mix, not as a fake “industry surcharge.” Never invent dollar deltas beyond hub_price_ranges.json.
One-liner only: prismatic 3-axis milling. Defer setup/ops essays to material hubs.
Public price range
Aggregated from Batch1 child leaves for this hub (9 pages). USD, rates v1.1, public ±12% on the 50×50×20 mm sample. Compare qty 10 $117.92 ($70.4–$325.63); qty 100 $597.1 ($168.57–$1959.2).
| Qty | Low | Mid | High | Status | Leaves priced | Lead days |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $70.4 | $80 | $89.6 | priced | 9 | 7–12 (mid 10) |
| 10 | $70.4 | $117.92 | $325.63 | priced | 9 | 7–12 (mid 10) |
| 100 | $168.57 | $597.1 | $1959.2 | priced | 9 | 7–12 (mid 10) |
| 500 | $768.93 | $2537.83 | $4996.37 | mixed | 7 | 7–12 (mid 10) |
Aggregate mid reflects stainless and polymer children above aluminum floors. Span is mix-driven from hub_price_ranges — not a fabricated “medical grade” adder. Industry hub bands aggregate across child materials. Qty10 mid often sits between soft aluminum floors and higher titanium/stainless/PEEK leaves — explain the span as a material mix, not as a fake “industry surcharge.” Never invent dollar deltas beyond hub_price_ranges.json. Some child leaves are mixed, so a band uses only children that published a number. Not a confirmed order price.
Process comparison
Qty 10 public mid is the median of process×material hub mids, with the span of those mids in parentheses. Tolerance labels and finish names come from the hubs-enrich pack. The machine-rate column is the rates card, not a part price.
| Process | Qty 10 price band | Tolerance | Finishes | DFM | Machine rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CNC 3-axis (CNC 三轴) | $117.92 median ($80–$290.74) | ISO 2768-m; ±0.05 mm; ±0.025 mm; tighter needs manual | 8: Bead Blast, Powder Coat, Polish, Nickel/Zinc Plate, Anodize, Hard Anodize, Black Oxide, Passivate | On 3-axis mills, walls thinner than 0.8 mm (2V/A proxy) chatter and deflect under end-mill load — thicken or add ribs before quoting as production. | $25/h, setup $30 |
| CNC 5-axis (CNC 五轴) | $117.92 median ($80–$290.74) | ISO 2768-m; ±0.05 mm; ±0.025 mm; tighter needs manual | 8: Bead Blast, Powder Coat, Polish, Nickel/Zinc Plate, Anodize, Hard Anodize, Black Oxide, Passivate | 5-axis simultaneous moves need clearance for spindle/holder; long stick-out past thin walls under 0.8 mm risks collision and chatter — shorten tools or thicken local stock. | $55/h, setup $60 |
| CNC Turning (CNC 车削) | $117.92 median ($80–$290.74) | ISO 2768-m; ±0.05 mm; ±0.025 mm; tighter needs manual | 8: Bead Blast, Powder Coat, Polish, Nickel/Zinc Plate, Anodize, Hard Anodize, Black Oxide, Passivate | Turned bars with length/diameter above ~3–4× without a tailstock or steady rest chatter; thin tubular walls under 0.8 mm amplify ovality under chuck pressure. | $22/h, setup $20 |
| SLM / DMLS (SLM / DMLS) | $4022.82 median ($2800.17–$4177.43) | ISO 2768-m; tighter needs manual | 8: Bead Blast, Powder Coat, Polish, Nickel/Zinc Plate, Black Oxide, Passivate, Anodize, Hard Anodize | SLM thin-wall proxy under 0.8 mm (same threshold family as CNC) risks incomplete melt tracks and warp — thicken or orient flat to plate. | $45/h, support removal min $15/part |

Questions
What price does CNC 3axis for Medical show?
Aggregate mid reflects stainless and polymer children above aluminum floors. Span is mix-driven from hub_price_ranges — not a fabricated “medical grade” adder. Aggregate across 9 Batch1 materials: qty 10 mid $117.92 ($70.4–$325.63); qty 100 mid $597.1 ($168.57–$1959.2) (USD, public ±12%, rates v1.1). Open a material child for one alloy. Nothing is invented. This hub is authorized for index, follow (not a ranking claim).
Are typical Medical parts listed?
Named production parts are not in the hubs-enrich pack. The page lists DFM one-liners and Batch1 material children for this industry. Empty means not loaded.
When can this page be indexed?
Not from this pack. SPEC §15.1 keeps process hubs index, follow, and out of the sitemap even when indexable_hint is props_ready. Indexing stays a quality-gate decision on combination pages.
