Medical Device & Dental Equipment Stamping Designed for Critical Applications

Every medical device relies on components you can trust. Stewart EFI delivers precision metal stamping for medical devices, surgical applications and dental equipment, engineered for precision, repeatability, and strict regulatory standards. From surgical instruments and dental hardware to drug delivery systems and battery contacts, our medical device stamping processes provide reliable results across a range of critical applications.

Medical components often require complex shapes, tight tolerances, and specialized metals. Stewart EFI combines progressive die, deep draw, and slide forming technologies to produce precision metal stampings for medical and dental applications.

Deep Drawn Stamping

For seamless instrument housings, battery enclosures, surgical instruments, and other drawn medical components.

Progressive Die Stamping

For high-precision, high-volume medical device components requiring repeatable production & strict compliance to tolerances.

Slide-Formed Stamping

For miniature or intricately bent parts that require multiple forming operations, tight tolerances, or complex geometries.

Leading Medical & Dental Device Manufacturers Rely on Stewart EFI

Our precision components are integrated into devices that improve patient outcomes and advance healthcare technology. Stewart EFI partners with innovative OEMs, contract manufacturers, and dental suppliers to deliver reliable, repeatable components.

Medical Device Stamping FAQs

We manufacture precision metal stampings for medical and dental devices, including surgical instruments, dental eyelets, EKG studs, housings, drug delivery systems, battery components, connectors, and other precision components.

Yes. Our processes support very small, complex geometries with tight tolerances, ensuring reliable performance for high-precision medical applications.

We form standard, specialty, and biocompatible metals, including pre-plated, anodized, heat-treated, and inlayed materials. We can also integrate post-processing such as cleaning or sterilization prep.

Yes. We work with a wide range of materials when producing precision metal stampings for medical devices, including: low- and high-carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, zinc, gold, brazing materials, Inconel, niobium, tantalum, and more. See our full range of material stamping capabilities.

Yes. Medical device progressive stamping is well suited for high-volume components that require tight tolerances, repeatability, and consistent quality. Stewart EFI uses precision tooling, in-process sensing, and automated inspection to produce complex medical and dental components efficiently at production volumes.

Four-slide stamping for medical devices is often utilized for small, intricate components that require multiple bends, complex geometries, or forming operations from different directions. Stewart EFI’s slide-forming capabilities can produce miniature medical and dental components with tight tolerances and repeatable quality while combining multiple forming operations into a single process.

The best stamping process depends on the component’s geometry, material, tolerances, production volume, and forming requirements. Stewart EFI evaluates each application to determine whether progressive die stamping, deep drawing, four-slide stamping, or another metal forming process provides the most efficient combination of quality, performance, and cost. Because we offer multiple custom metal stamping services, we can recommend the optimal stamping process for your part’s design.

Absolutely. Our engineers collaborate early to select the optimal stamping process and materials, helping reduce cost, improve manufacturability, and ensure compliance before full-scale production.
Yes. We offer production-intent prototypes for testing and validation and can scale to high-volume production while maintaining strict tolerances and quality.

We combine advanced stamping processes like progressive die, deep draw, and multi-slide / four-slide stamping with in-house tooling and automated assembly. In-process sensing and 100% inspection for critical features helps deliver consistent quality across production runs.

Our team can integrate secondary operations, automated assembly, and post-processing steps, reducing handling and streamlining production while maintaining compliance and quality.

Yes. Our in-house engineering team is available to review your design and make recommendations regarding manufacturability, material selection, tooling and more to help optimize production, lower costs, and improve results. Learn more about our engineering services for medical device stampings.

Yes. Our team has decades of experience helping customers convert existing parts to stamping, which often helps to reduce per piece costs for high-volume medical component production runs. Our engineers can advise on DFM modifications, materials, process development and more – including transitioning parts from CNC machining, Swiss machining, sheet metal fabrication, laser cutting, or other manufacturing processes to a medical stamping process.
