How are they making over 500 surgical components a week?!
By Rowan Easter-Robinson
When lives depend on precision, there’s no room for “close enough.” That’s why this custom-developed Sodick wire EDM solution is changing the game for micro medical components here at The Engineering Quest!
Rowan Easter-Robinson of MTDCNC meets Will Sharpe and Mark Palmer from The Engineering Quest and Richard Bailey from Sodi-Tech to learn how they’re making these intricate instruments for eye surgery that you can’t even see without squinting. Hundreds of unique variants, ultra-tight tolerances, and global demand growing fast.
The solution? A bespoke UK-first Sodick machine tailored for ultra-fine 30-micron wire, lightning-fast changeovers, and a process so clean it leaves barely any recast.
Watch the full conversation now to see how British manufacturing is solving surgical-scale problems with world-class tech.
