Nitinol Processing

We are experts in nitinol processing technology and understand how it affects the material properties critical to the performance of a finished device or implant. 

Nitinol, a nickel-titanium (NiTi) alloy, has unique superelastic and shape-memory properties essential to medical devices and technologies, especially in MedTech. Our nitinol processing capabilities include core nitinol processing such as laser cutting, shape setting, and electropolishing, as well as many other technologies. Some of these include grinding, ablation, braiding, machining, wire EDM, and welding. All of these enable MedTech innovation. Resonetics collaborates closely with your team to understand specific application needs and to develop customized solutions that help you achieve your manufacturing and part performance goals. Our nitinol processing capabilities, dedicated resources, and unmatched expertise help accelerate time-to-market for groundbreaking devices that change and improve lives.

Nitinol Laser Cutting

We are experts in using ultrafast femtosecond laser systems to perform precision cutting of nitinol, resulting in highly accurate shapes straight from the laser with minimal need for additional post-processing.

This results in minimal thermal damage, less downstream processing, and faster turnaround times.

Nitinol femtosecond laser cutting is ideal for components such as stents and guidewires, where fine detail and structural integrity are critical.

Nitinol Shape-Setting

We offer multiple nitinol shape-setting processes using precise temperature control, advanced equipment, and extensive custom tooling expertise, supported by in-house resources for rapid design and production of complex devices. This process includes custom automated salt bath systems to ensure reliable shape consistency.

Nitinol Electropolishing

We take a scientific, precision-based approach to electropolishing, which produces smooth, corrosion-resistant surfaces that are critical for medical device applications. We have also built our automated electropolishing equipment to improve part quality, reliability, and repeatability.

Nitinol Braiding

Our expertise in nitinol braiding and post-processing of braided constructs includes customizable solutions designed to meet unique application needs, delivering exceptional quality and endless innovation for lifesaving biomedical structures, fabrics, and custom components.
