Danco Medical Completes Testing of Its Color Titanium Anodizing

Danco Medical has completed testing and validation for its Color Titanium Anodizing, laser marking, and passivation processes relating to Additive Manufacturing (AM).

 

The company is now able to provide its full Color Titanium Anodize portfolio to additive-manufactured titanium alloys, something previously only possible with traditionally machined components. This allows contact materials to be removed from complex and porous structures.

 

Tim Zentz, General Manager of Danco Medical, said: “We are excited to offer Color Titanium Anodize on porous product to our customers. This has been highly anticipated and we are proud to announce it with confidence, knowing that it has been tested to the highest quality standards.”

 

In its testing, Danco Medical developed a worst-case challenge coupon based on manufacturing designs that already have FDA 510K clearance. Process Control and monitoring are integral to FDA 21 CFR 820.70(h), the principles of which are followed by our Quality System independent test labs we used to demonstrate adherence to this CFR.

 

This new process enhances current offerings, playing an important role in the wider Additive Manufacturing ecosystem of Lincotek as an end-to-end Additive solution provider. The company’s portfolio of integrated special processes allows it to offer a complete value chain.  

 

This portfolio and process are already integrated into the design and development phase including printing and going through to thermal treatments and machining, up to surface treatments and final certification.
