Polishing & Finishing

Surface quality as a functional requirement

Polishing and finishing are critical steps in ensuring that orthopaedic implants meet both functional and aesthetic requirements. SMB Medical offers a wide range of surface treatments designed to enhance fatigue performance, reduce surface roughness and achieve consistent visual quality.

Processes include grinding, tumbling, drag finishing, sandblasting, shot peening, electropolishing and laser marking. Each finishing route is selected based on component geometry, material and clinical application.

Controlled processes and final compliance

Controlled passivation and cleaning steps support surface integrity and readiness for downstream processes. Finishing operations are fully integrated with inspection and quality controls to ensure compliance with customer specifications and regulatory standards.
