Metal Stamping & Forming
Tight tolerance micro-stamped components allow device engineers to create unique geometry for implants, electrical circuit path designs, robotic platforms and medical instrumentation that push the physical device boundaries to microscopic levels.
Paragon Medical offers precision metal stamping and forming services that meet the demanding needs of medical device manufacturing. As the industry pushes for smaller, more complex parts made from difficult-to-form materials, our capabilities support both low and high volume production of miniature components with intricate geometry.
Our metal stamping processes include progressive die stamping, shallow draw, eyelet stamping, and fourslide forming. We combine advanced equipment, experienced teams, and rigorous quality processes to produce components that meet strict performance requirements. Our facilities feature a wide range of power presses, including one of the industry’s largest fleets of fourslide machines, enabling fabrication from both annealed and tempered materials.
We perform in-house design and manufacture of stamping tools such as progressive dies and fourslide tooling, along with precision machining support. Secondary operations like deburring and tapping are also handled internally. Deep metallurgical knowledge and comprehensive customer support ensure parts are formed to optimal geometry, even at thicknesses down to one thousandth of an inch with tight tolerances.
Paragon Medical’s engineering team works collaboratively with customers to support component design for micro-sized applications driven by the growth of connected and miniaturized medical devices. Engineering resources are deployed early in projects to optimize designs for parts such as surgical skin staples, titanium ligation clips, battery contacts, and implantable components.
Technical capabilities include handling flat and strip materials from very thin gauges up through a broad range of alloys, full metal forming support from initial proposal to finished products, large numbers of specialized forming machines, in-house tool design and build resources, and the ability to produce precision micro-sized parts with complex shapes. Low-volume and short-run jobs receive the same careful attention and quality standards as high-volume production.
