Not machined and handed back.
FJM Manufacturing machines precision components for orthopedic and surgical device manufacturers from its shop in Nashua, New Hampshire. Parts are produced complete — machined, then routed through laser marking, glass bead blasting, electropolishing and passivation — and delivered on a release schedule in batches sized to your build.

A machined component is not finished when it comes off the machine. It still needs marking, deburring, surface conditioning and passivation — and most machine shops stop at the first step.
That leaves you holding a raw part and four vendor relationships: one for laser, one for bead blast, one for electropolish, one for passivation. Four quotes, four lead times, four shipping legs, and four places for the schedule to slip.
FJM manages the chain. Parts arrive finished, marked and passivated, ready for your incoming inspection. If something needs re-running, that is one phone call to one person.
Finishing and secondary processes are performed by qualified outside vendors, managed by FJM on your behalf.
100 pieces at a time on your schedule is a normal order, not an inconvenience between production runs.
Fixtures built in-house and retained, setups documented, so a later batch runs the same process.
Certificates of Conformance and material certifications with every delivery.
Tolerances held to ±0.0001″ on critical features, proven across multiple medical device contracts.
Stainless steel including 303, 304, 316, 420, 440 and 17-4 PH. Titanium. Aluminum 6061 and 7075. Carbon and mold steels. Brass, bronze and copper. Engineering plastics including PEEK, Delrin, UHMW and PTFE.
The job. An orthopedic device manufacturer needed a precision pin produced in ongoing batches — 600+ pieces over the life of the programme, released roughly 100 at a time.
Why it was harder than it looks. Every piece required far more than machining: laser marking, glass bead blasting, electropolishing and passivation, each with its own handling requirements — and every batch had to match the ones before it. Coordinating four secondary processes across repeat releases is where this kind of programme usually goes wrong.
How FJM ran it. All machining in-house, with the full finishing chain managed end to end. Parts delivered finished and passivated, batch after batch, on the customer’s release schedule.
Customer and product withheld under NDA.
Yes. FJM machines components for medical device manufacturers, including orthopedic and surgical work. FJM is a component supplier; the device manufacturer holds the regulatory registration for the finished device.
Yes. Both are managed on your behalf through qualified outside vendors, along with laser marking, glass bead blasting, heat treatment and plating. Parts are delivered finished.
Yes, both are supplied.
Yes, and it is the shop’s core business. Fixtures and setups are retained between releases so later batches match the first.
There is no minimum order quantity. A single prototype, a one-off replacement, or a repair part is a real job here.
Quotes come back the next business day. Rush service is available, including next-morning turnaround on suitable jobs. The shop opens at 6:00 AM Monday through Friday.
Tolerances to ±0.0001″ on critical features. Every part is inspected against print before it ships — 100% inspection, not sampling — on a granite surface plate with a TESA height gauge.
