Medical Device Stampings, Formed Metal Parts & Springs

We work with stainless steel, aluminum, steel, copper, brass, and wire stock for spring forming. Material selection depends on the device type, sterilization method, and whether the component is single-use or reusable. For implantable or fluid-contact components, we can discuss material specifications that meet your design requirements during the quoting process.

Progressive stamping feeds strip metal through a sequence of die stations in a single pass, making it the right choice for flat or moderately formed components that need to be produced in high volumes with tight, repeatable tolerances. Fourslide stamping uses four independently adjustable slides to form wire or strip from multiple directions simultaneously, making it better suited for complex three-dimensional shapes, hooks, clips, and spring forms that progressive tooling cannot achieve. We run both processes in-house, so we can evaluate your component geometry and recommend the right method before tooling begins.

Yes. We manufacture micro-sized compression springs and intricate stamped components specifically for minimally invasive and endoscopic device programs. These parts require tight dimensional control at very small scales, and our equipment and tooling capabilities are set up to hold those tolerances consistently across high-volume production runs.

Progressive stamping is inherently repeatable by design, each station in the die performs the same operation on every part in sequence. Once the tooling is set and validated, the process holds the same geometry and tolerances from the first part to the last. For medical device programs, process consistency is a requirement, not a preference, and our tooling and quality process are built around that expectation.

We engage at the design stage when invited to do so. Early manufacturing involvement allows us to identify features that are difficult or costly to produce in metal and suggest design modifications that preserve function while improving manufacturability. Several products we have co-developed with customers from the design stage have resulted in patents. Bringing us in early is particularly valuable for components that have been turned down elsewhere as unmanufacturable.

In many cases, yes. Stamped metal components offer advantages in strength, dimensional stability, sterilization compatibility, and longevity that injection-molded plastic cannot match. For devices that face repeated sterilization cycles, high mechanical loads, or strict dimensional requirements, metal stampings often perform better over the life of the device. We have worked with customers specifically on converting previously plastic components to metal stampings and spring forms, including cases where the initial assumption was that metal manufacturing was not feasible.
