| Stainless 316L | ASTM A240 | ASME SA-240 | Medical implant housings (ISO 13485-compliant) |
Zero-Defect Manufacturing Protocol
Our “Zero Defects” philosophy is embedded in every process stage. From automated in-process gauging to 100% final inspection using Zeiss CMMs with 0.0005mm resolution, we enforce strict statistical process control (SPC). Each part receives a digital twin with full traceability—critical for defense and medical applications where recalls are unacceptable.
| Process Stage | Common Practice | Wuxi Lead Protocol |
