Die Casting of Medical Device Components
Elimold is a leading provider of medical device services, including medical device component design, die casting, and surface treatment. The die-cast medical device components produced by Elimold are mainly made of aluminum, because this metal has the advantages of high strength, high hardness, and low density, which meets the basic requirements of medical devices. Elimold is experienced and trustworthy, so we are able to work with medical device manufacturers and medical professionals to design and manufacture core components of medical devices, provide reliable molds for mass production of medical device components, and supply a large number of end products. Although there will be great challenges in the process, Elimold is willing to negotiate with you the required products and develop a perfect plan, in which high efficiency, high quality, and low cost are fully considered.
A New Dimension in Medical Die Casting Technology
Elimold is a custom machine shop that produces precision medical device castings using a variety of die casting processes. All castings are trimmed, machined, and finished to customer specifications. Through our experienced staff, Elimold provides engineering services from design concept, prototyping, tooling, and production, to machining and metal finishing to complete assembly.
Elimold’s full-service capabilities make us your one-stop die casting supplier. We will serve as the single party for everything from initial design assistance to precision machining, metal finishing, and final assembly.
Die Casting of Medical Device Parts
In the medical industry, our production and inspection standards for die-cast medical device parts are much higher than those in other industries, because the quality of medical devices is related to people’s health and life safety.
Our ultimate goal is to help customers save costs while providing them with high-quality medical device parts. In order to avoid any possible trial and error costs, we use the most advanced simulation tools when designing molds. In order to ensure the highest quality, we use the most stringent inspection measures from raw materials to finished products. All these efforts have helped us establish strategic business relationships with many well-known medical device manufacturers around the world.
Providing a complete end-to-end service for cast medical device components
Our components go through 21 sophisticated processes to achieve the outstanding chrome mirror finish required. All medical components are carefully tested before leaving the factory so that customers can confidently integrate them into larger product assemblies. In addition, Elimold has developed a uniquely flexible manufacturing approach that ensures supply continuity from product development to full production, even during periods of exceptionally high demand.
CNC Machining of Die Cast Medical Devices
The die casting team at Elimold understands that the medical device and medical equipment industry requires high-quality, safe parts and finishes that comply with relevant regulations and standards. We can produce biocompatible devices that are placed in the body, so we work with medical device, instrument and equipment manufacturers to manufacture aluminum parts that are ultimately used in the medical field.
In addition to die casting, we also provide CNC machining for the medical industry. Let us evaluate your application and determine the best process and surface finish. Our team has the expertise and experience to help you go from drawing to precise, high-quality parts that meet your requirements and exceed your expectations.
Biocompatibility
Stainless steel and machined aluminum aren’t the only options for manufacturing parts that come in contact with the human body. When medical devices must interact with tissue or body fluids, a variety of specialty coatings can be applied to die castings to meet the rigorous testing and validation required by the FDA/EMEA. Elimold offers a wide range of alloys so you never have to limit your material choices.
ISO 13485 Certified Manufacturer
Elimold is an ISO 13485 (Medical Devices) certified manufacturer. With 22 facilities around the world, we manufacture precision parts from micro to large using proprietary multi-slide and conventional hot and cold chamber die casting technologies. Elimold’s knowledge, combined with a structured project management approach, supports customers from concept through rapid prototyping, tooling and pre-production phases, and full-scale manufacturing.
If you’re looking for a partnership to help you apply new tools and technologies, or to help you fully realize your design vision, let us help you move your business forward, contact our team today to start the conversation.
Advanced Engineering and Design Expertise
At Elimold, our production of high-quality die-cast medical device parts begins with this state-of-the-art approach to die design. Years ago, we invested in simulation tools to assist with die-casting die design, while most of our competitors were still using traditional methods.
Simulation tools provide a complete flow and thermal solution for our die-casting die design. Simulation provides us with detailed insights into the filling and solidification of die-cast medical device parts and helps us optimize the design to avoid possible defects such as pores, bubbles, cold shuts, underfill, cold spalling, thermal stresses, deformation, surface oxides, etc. With simulation, we can complete the optimized design without trial and error. This is what makes our die-cast medical device parts so competitive.
Strict Quality Assurance Measures
Quality assurance has always been a priority for us, especially when it comes to die-cast medical device components. It is no accident that Elimold consistently provides high-quality, fully finished die-cast medical device components, as we implement and adhere to the most stringent quality assurance measures to ensure that every batch of our medical device components meets or exceeds our customers’ expectations.
The quality of the raw materials used in die-cast medical device components is strictly controlled. Our practice is that all raw materials are purchased from ISO 9001 registered sources with test reports, and each batch of raw materials must undergo incoming inspection before going into production.
We develop and implement inspection plans at every step of the production process. From alloy melting, casting, heat treatment to finishing, in-process inspection and on-site inspection are carried out throughout the production process. All inspection reports for each run of our medical components are traceable and will be retained for at least 48 months.
The quality of medical device components is related to the safety of patients’ lives. In addition to routine testing, 100% of our die-cast medical device components must undergo NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) to ensure that there are no possible defects inside the castings.

Why choose Elimold for all your die casting needs
The medical device industry involves multiple industries such as medicine, machinery, electronics, and plastics. It is a multidisciplinary, knowledge-intensive, and capital-intensive high-tech industry. The basic characteristics of high-tech medical devices are digitization and computerization. They are the crystallization of multidisciplinary and cross-domain modern high-tech. Their products have high technical content and high profits. Therefore, they are the commanding heights of competition among major scientific and technological countries and international companies, and the entry threshold is high.
Medical devices refer to instruments, equipment, appliances, in vitro diagnostic reagents and calibrators, materials and other similar or related items used directly or indirectly on the human body, including required computer software.
The utility is mainly obtained through physical methods, rather than through pharmacology, immunology or metabolism, or although these methods are involved, they only play an auxiliary role. The purpose is to diagnose, prevent, monitor, treat or alleviate diseases; diagnose, monitor, treat, alleviate or compensate for injuries; inspect, replace, adjust or support physiological structures or physiological processes; support or maintain life; control pregnancy; and provide information for medical or diagnostic purposes by examining human samples.
