Solution

Bel Air developed a high-energy finishing solution using the Centrifugal Disc Finisher to precisely smooth and polish titanium bone plate implants. This process achieves a machined finish that meets stringent medical standards for durability and surface quality. Through rigorous testing and process development, we helped the customer achieve consistent, high-quality results that enhance the performance, longevity, and aesthetic appeal of 3D-printed titanium implants. By reducing the need for manual polishing, this solution also increases production efficiency, supporting the scalability of medical manufacturing.
