Medical Implants & Prosthetics

Support Mechanical Demands and Biocompatibility in Use

Tensile strength, fatigue resistance, and corrosion control are critical for permanent and semi-permanent implant components.

Surface Control for Tissue Compatibility

Controlled polishing and micro-deburring help reduce ion release, bacterial adhesion, and promote osseointegration near soft and hard tissue zones.

Wear-Optimized Interfaces for Joint Articulation

Use hard coatings or duplex steels to support sliding contacts and articulation points in knees, hips, or spinal implant systems. 

Edge Shaping for Load Transfer and Fatigue Life

Edge rounding and notch minimization reduce peak stress points in necks, flanges, and abutment sections under cyclic loading.

Medical Implants & Prosthetics

Extend Service Life through Advanced Surface Treatments

Surface finishing and functional coatings improve implant fatigue life, minimize abrasion, and reduce rejection rates post-implantation.

Hard Coatings for Joint and Spinal Parts

Use PVD coatings like TiN or CrN to reduce wear at moving interfaces in spinal cages, knee joints, or modular stems.

Polishing for Contact and Insertion Surfaces

Mirror polishing and vibratory finishing reduce Ra values under 0.08 µm on contact faces and insertion zones of implants.

Controlled Deburring for Surgical Interfaces

Burr-free profiles under magnification maintain shape control and reduce inflammation risks during in-body placement or adjustment.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Questions

How does Frigate achieve tight tolerance consistency across irregular implant geometries?

Frigate uses synchronized 5-axis CNC setups with fixture probing and rotary encoder feedback to maintain position across all axes during non-linear toolpaths. Adaptive toolpath correction compensates for part orientation shifts and micro-deflection during high-speed cuts. In-process probing verifies dimensions after each stage, reducing downstream rework. This approach allows for machining of complex implant geometries like femoral stems or acetabular cups with tolerances maintained below ±5 µm, even in asymmetrical cross-sections. As part of the workflow, custom workholding ensures that each part remains stable under variable cutter loads, reducing geometric drift throughout extended cycle times. 

Can Frigate machine porous or textured surfaces without affecting structural integrity?

Yes. Frigate machines porous lattice structures and textured zones using controlled-depth toolpaths and fine-stepover strategies. Material integrity is preserved by reducing axial tool pressure and regulating chip load near lattice junctions. Surface porosity intended for bone ingrowth, such as in spinal or hip implants, is achieved without introducing microcracks or compromising base material cohesion. Post-machining inspection with 3D laser scanners confirms pattern consistency, wall thickness uniformity, and edge resolution. This process ensures biofunctional performance while meeting structural demands of in-body implantation under cyclical loading. 

What methods does Frigate apply to prevent material distortion in thin-walled prosthetic parts?

Frigate manages distortion by combining low-force cutting techniques, precise heat control, and tailored fixturing. Machining of titanium, or CoCr thin-wall structures is done using constant engagement paths and reduced radial depths to lower stress input. Simultaneously, coolant temperature control helps neutralize localized thermal expansion. Workpieces are supported using vacuum or form-fitting jigs to distribute clamping pressure evenly. These strategies limit post-machining deflection and remove the need for excessive secondary straightening. Resulting wall thicknesses remain uniform within ±0.01 mm, which is crucial for lightweight prosthetic frames and joint inserts. 

 

How does Frigate qualify implants for fatigue and contact performance?

Frigate performs fatigue-critical machining with attention to edge transitions, radii, and grain flow direction to extend service life. Machined implants undergo non-contact interferometry and CMM-based validation to confirm dimensional targets. Additionally, micro-polishing is applied to reduce initiation points for microcracks under dynamic loads. Contact zones, such as joint surfaces or locking tapers, are inspected for uniformity in surface roughness and contact pressure profiles. By aligning process parameters with ASTM F1160 and ISO 7206 test outcomes, Frigate ensures machined parts meet durability expectations in both simulated and real-world anatomical movement cycles. 

What controls does Frigate implement to support regulatory compliance for Class III implants?

Frigate follows end-to-end documentation aligned with ISO 13485 and FDA 21 CFR Part 820 for Class III device components. Digital process tracking connects tool use, environmental data, and inspection records directly to each part’s serial identifier. Controlled environments include real-time monitoring of temperature, humidity, and particulate counts. All cleaning and post-processing steps use traceable, validated materials compliant with USP Class VI. This integrated system supports submission packages, product validation, and external audits with no manual data reconciliation. Frigate’s compliance framework is built to meet stringent demands of regulatory agencies globally.
