CNC Turning for Titanium Spinal Screw Components
Medical Device Company (Orthopedics), USA, Pennsylvania
Titanium spinal screw machining focused on thread geometry, drive features, tooling, and inspection under customer-defined project requirements.
Account owner: PiPrecision Engineering Team
The Challenge
The titanium screw design combined an external thread profile with drive features that needed to be assessed together during machining and inspection planning. The customer’s controlled drawing and material specification defined the component requirements.
Because the intended application was a spinal implant, the manufacturing scope also required explicit agreement on traceability, handling, inspection records, and customer qualification requirements. Those responsibilities cannot be established from dimensional capability alone.
Our Solution
The machining approach focused on dedicated tooling and inspection fixtures for the screw geometry. Thread and drive features were considered as part of the same component inspection plan, with the drawing revision and material requirements carried through the manufacturing review.
The project scope separates component machining and inspection from device validation. Implant production requires confirmation of customer qualification requirements, material traceability, handling controls, and the supplier’s approved scope. PiPrecision is not currently ISO 13485 certified.
