Machining is a crucial process in the production of artificial joints, ensuring high levels of precision, durability, and functionality. Components such as femoral heads, tibial trays, acetabular cups, and stems are machined using advanced techniques like CNC milling, turning, and grinding. These components are typically fabricated from biocompatible materials, including titanium, cobalt-chromium alloys, and medical-grade stainless steel. Machining guarantees smooth surfaces, precise dimensions, and an accurate fit, which are essential for proper joint alignment and mobility, ultimately contributing to the long-term success and safety of the implant.
