Sheet Metal Fabrication for Medical Devices
Prototype and low volume production support for device makers who can't miss a milestone. Upload a file today, get parts in days, so a review, a trial, or a demo never slips because a bracket was stuck in a queue.
Development timelines don't wait for the shop.
Device programs move on tight, regulated schedules. A three week lead time on a simple cut and form part can push a whole design review, and every slip compounds down the line.
ACP exists to take that risk off the table: online pricing, no minimum order, and parts shipped in days from one shop that cuts, forms, taps, and finishes under a single roof.
- Prototype friendly, no minimum order, so a single iteration is welcome
- Fast turnarounds, days, not weeks, to keep milestones on track
- No heat waterjet, preserves material properties on sensitive alloys
- One shop, one PO, cutting, forming, tapping, and hardware together
Parts that keep programs moving.
Typical sheet metal work for medical device and instrument teams, from early prototypes to low volume bridge production.
Enclosures & Housings
Cut and formed enclosures, chassis, and covers in aluminum or stainless for instruments, carts, and benchtop devices.
Brackets & Mounts
Structural brackets, mounting plates, and fixtures for stands, arms, and instrument frames.
Panels & Faceplates
Front panels and faceplates with clean cutouts for displays, connectors, switches, and controls.
Trays & Subchassis
Component trays and internal frames that hold electronics, pumps, and modules in place.
Precision Flat Parts
Gaskets, shims, spacers, washers, and templates in metals, plastics, and composites.
Ready to Fit Subassemblies
Parts tapped in advance and fitted with PEM hardware, so they drop straight into your build.
Metals and plastics matched to the application.
The grades device teams reach for most, cut and formed in house.
Aluminum
Lightweight and easy to form. 5052-H32 for enclosures and panels, 6061-T6 for structural brackets and mounting plates.
Stainless Steel
Corrosion resistant and easy to clean. 304 for general parts, 316 where moisture and chemical resistance matter, from 0.030″ to 1/2″.
Plastics & Composites
Cast acrylic is our stock plastic; we also waterjet cut Delrin, polycarbonate, and G10 / FR4 for insulators and guides.

What we can hold on your parts.
Standard Instant Quote limits. Need something beyond these capabilities? Our estimating team can help with a Custom Quote.
Max part size
58″ × 118″ on abrasive waterjet and fiber laser, down to a 1″ × 1″ minimum.
Thickness
Sheet from 24 ga up to 1.000″ standard. Waterjet goes thicker by custom quote.
Cut tolerance
Profiles ±0.010″, holes ±0.005″ on parts up to 24″ × 24″.
Forming
Flange dimensions ±0.030″, bend angles ±1° on our press brakes.
No heat affected zone
Abrasive waterjet cuts cold, with edge taper held to about 0.002″.
Turnaround
Standard cut and formed parts ship in days, not weeks, priced online in minutes.
Full limits and tolerances live in the cutting and forming guidelines.
One iteration or a bridge run, same shop, same speed.
Upload a STEP or DXF and see pricing and lead time in minutes, with no minimum order and no account needed just to price it. Order a single prototype today, iterate to rev B next week, and scale into a low volume bridge run without changing suppliers or requalifying a shop.
When a part falls outside the standard online limits, an ACP estimator reviews the file and quotes it by hand, so a tricky enclosure or a tight tolerance doesn't stall the program. Start with the manufacturing guidelines to design parts that price and ship fast.
It's the same quick turn approach we run for robotics and automation teams iterating on hardware and defense suppliers working to program milestones, medical just puts a sharper focus on clean, corrosion resistant materials and parts that fit right the first time.
- Instant online pricing, upload a file and see a number, no account needed to price it
- No minimum order, from one prototype to a low volume production run
- US based, one roof, cut, formed, tapped, and finished in Littleton, Massachusetts
- Real engineers on the file, hand review when a part needs a human
Everything under one roof.
Waterjet Cutting
No heat and no heat affected zone, so sensitive alloys keep their properties. Cuts up to 4.00″.

Do you make sheet metal parts for medical devices?
Yes. ACP cuts, forms, taps, and finishes aluminum and stainless parts, enclosures, brackets, panels, and precision flat parts, for medical device and instrument makers, from prototypes to low volume bridge runs.
What materials do you use for medical device parts?
Most work is aluminum (5052-H32, 6061-T6) and stainless steel (304 and 316), plus cast acrylic and other waterjet cut plastics and composites like Delrin and G10 / FR4. Tell us the application and we'll help pick the grade.
What tolerances can you hold?
Standard cutting tolerances are ±0.010″ on profiles and ±0.005″ on holes for parts up to 24″ × 24″, with a small allowance added on larger parts. Formed flanges are ±0.030″ and bend angles ±1°. Tighter tolerances get a hand review and a custom quote.
What's the largest part you can make?
Waterjet and fiber laser handle parts up to 58″ × 118″, from sheet as thin as 24 gauge up to 1.000″ thick as standard. Waterjet can go thicker by custom quote.
What file formats do you accept?
Upload a STEP or DXF and you'll see instant pricing and lead time. Add a PDF drawing when a part has specific tolerances, threads, or finish callouts.
Is there a minimum order?
No. There's no minimum order, so you can order a single prototype or a low volume run from the same shop. You don't need an account to see pricing, but you will need one to place the order.
Can you handle low volume production, not just prototypes?
Yes. The same shop handles a single prototype and a low volume bridge run of hundreds, with no need to find a new source when you scale.
How fast can I get medical device parts?
Standard cut and formed parts ship in days, not weeks. Upload a file for instant pricing and lead time, or ask us to review a more complex part by hand.
Does waterjet cutting damage sensitive materials?
No. Waterjet cuts cold, with no heat affected zone, so the temper and properties of sensitive alloys stay intact right up to the edge. See the waterjet cutting guidelines for limits.
