Precision Touch & Custom Metal Stamping
Medical/Surgical
Meier Tool & Engineering's core business is the development and production of tight-tolerance, critical-to-function, metalformed components and sub-assemblies for demanding applications. Component sizes are small, miniature and micro-sized, ranging from as large as your thumb, down to the size of the head of a pin.
We are one of a few metalforming companies to be ISO 13485 certified. In being certified to this standard, MTE meets regulatory as well as customer requirements for risk management and maintaining effective processes specific to the safe design, manufacture and distribution of medical devices.
Throughout the entire product life-cycle, these quality disciplines enhance our ability to help clients achieve success in producing surgical instruments, hearing aids, implantable devices, and other applications.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF PARTNERING WITH MTE?
Within our span of capabilities our primary strengths are miniaturization techniques and conversions from expensive manufacturing processes to the precision metalforming process.
MINIATURIZATION TECHNIQUES...
The MTE team has invested decades in the development of miniaturization techniques which allow us to precisely produce intricate, small, miniature, and micro-sized parts and sub-assemblies. This strength augments our customer's ability to launch demanding Medical/Surgical programs.
Industry trends towards miniaturization are driving the need for devices that:
- Are minimally invasive
- Have higher strength & higher performance
- Fit more complex geometry into a smaller space
- Require components with thinner wall sections down to .05mm(.002")
- Are more reliable with fewer field failures

COST-SAVING CONVERSIONS...
MTE has helped create a competitive advantage for numerous companies in the Medical Device Industry by converting their component manufacturing from other expensive processes to precision metalforming.
Components previously produced using the following processes are now being produced at MTE using the precision metalforming process. Potential conversion candidates are:
- Metal Injection Molding (MIM)
- Screw Machining
- CNC Machining
- Precision Casting
What does converting to the precision metalforming process offer?
- Lower component costs.
- Dimensional stability and lot to lot repeatability.
- Improved device performance.
- Intricate shapes with extremely thin wall sections where needed.
- High throughput capacity to meet your production schedules.
- Tooling capable of lasting the life of your program.
