 Design office CAD/CAM

Starting from computerized engineering drawings or a just an idea, the design office generates specific manufacturing strategies for each industrial project.

Processes, technologies, costs and deadlines are comprehensively selected and specified at this level: a genuine feasibility study and an important step in the quality management procedure.

Machines

• Workstations
• Solidworks software
• AutoCad 2000 software
• Production management software
• CADCAM software

Machining

Our machine shops integrate all current turning, milling and screw-machining techniques, using latest-generation machines.

The precision and flexibility of our 4- to 10-axis numerically controlled machining centers and Swiss machine lathes allow us to create complex shapes for small and large series alike, with very tight tolerances.

Certain specific techniques have been acquired in order to meet the medical sector's requirements:

• Gun drilling
• Large dimension machining (from 160mm to 200 mm)

A machining center is entirely dedicated to prototype production.

Machines

• Swiss machine lathes
• Milling machines
• Jig borers
• 4- and 5-axis CNC lathes
• 10-axis screw machining lathes
• Vertical and horizontal machining centers, 4- and 5-axis
• High-speed milling equipment
• Deep hole drilling
• Threading machines
• Grinding equipment

Forge

Our industrial capabilities cover the whole range of hot- and cold-forging techniques: stamping, drop-forging and hand forging.

These skills enable both work on small series and the production of large series of blanks.

Decontamination-Passivation

Technologies

• Stripping
• Chemical passivation
• Electropolishing
• Automated passivation lines

Electro Erosion

IN’TECH Medical quickly recognized the utility of electroerosion for manufacturing medical instruments. This technique enables automated production of complex parts not yet accessible using numerical controlled machines.

Mastery of the electrode design process for die-sinking spark erosion is one of the principal strengths of our skills base.

TIG and laser welding

Commonly used in the nuclear and aeronautics industries, the TIG process enables high speed performance and considerably reduces buckling. The welds are free of oxides and nitrides: they display greater mechanical resistance and are more corrosion-resistant.

Laser welding has many advantages: it does not involve depositing new matter and preserves the material's original properties. Welding is rapid, very precise and does not generate oxidation or overthickness. It reduces the risk of cracking in stainless steel, even on very fine weld points and beads.

Specialty processes

Epoxy paints and coatings

Epoxy treatments are used to enhance metal protection and implement robust color-marking schemes, needed to ease complex instrument sets handling and improve instruments’ graphic design.

Chrome coatings

In’Tech Medical chrome-coating technology enables longer instrumentation lifecycles by perfectly protecting instruments against the most aggressive sterilization processes.

Quality Assurance and control systems

Our inspection system includes the following elements:

• CMM quality control
• 3D profile projector
• Standard profile projectors
• Measuring column
• Hardness tester
• Corrosion inspection system
• Microscope
• Software for computer control of all inspection and testing equipment
• Complete Electronic Document and Traceability Management

Polishing 

In the medical sector, polishing instruments is a critically important task that requires extreme precision. IN’TECH Medical has exceptional know-how in this domain. More than 45 polishers perform continuous, high-quality work on each of the instruments produced.

The entire range of polishing techniques are enlisted as a function of the industrial project in question: grinding, deburring, emery polishing, cotton polishing, buffing off, satin finishing, tribo-finishing and chemical and electrolytic polishing.

IN’TECH Medical stands out thanks to the experience of its polishers and its specialized knowledge of chemical and abrasive techniques, which allow us to tackle any type of finishing, including high-volume production.

Technologies

• Hand polishing
• Electrolytic polishing
• Tribo-finishing
• Roto-finishing
• High-smoothness and brightness chemical polishing automated lines

Raw Material Inventory

The steels, titanium, alloys and polymers from which IN’TECH Medical makes its orthopedic instruments and implants are carefully chosen or developed for their physical, chemical and biological qualities. This rigorous selection ensures the functionality and longevity of the resulting instruments and implants, as well as the latter's resistance to aggressive sterilization treatments, oxidation and corrosion. The stock is controlled-access and each part is registered on our IT system, giving perfect traceability.
