5-axis CNC Mill Turn Cutting Strategies for Medical Implant

Ever wonder how a Hip Cup Medical implant was made?

This video showcases the 5-axis CNC Mill Turn cutting strategies and steps of machining a Hip Cup (Acetabular Cup) Implant. The medical precision components was featured at the ITI Medical 2024 seminar held at Tonasco Smart Factory. Deploying full 9-axis CNC Milling and Turning functions, we are able to machine this titanium component with efficient cycle time.
