At Norman Noble, we specialize in manufacturing highly engineered nitinol implants and critical components used in advanced medical devices. OEM engineers rely on our deep material expertise and vertically integrated capabilities—from nitinol machining and nitinol laser processing to nitinol electropolishing, nitinol welding, and nitinol passivation—to achieve the precision, performance, and consistency their designs demand.
We understand the challenges of working with nitinol, and we have built the processes, technologies, and validation pathways needed to scale it into reliable, production-ready components.
Nitinol’s superelasticity, shape-memory behavior, and corrosion resistance make it essential for next-generation medical devices. Norman Noble routinely converts this complex alloy into stable, repeatable components including nitinol plates, nitinol staples, and nitinol stents, each manufactured to meet stringent dimensional and mechanical performance requirements.
Nitinol presents unique machining challenges due to its hardness, heat sensitivity, and springback behavior. Norman Noble applies proprietary micro-machining techniques and advanced tooling strategies to control thermal input, maintain tight tolerances, and ensure consistent material properties.
Capabilities include:
Laser processing is central to the fabrication of high-precision nitinol components. Our laser systems deliver micron-level accuracy and clean, consistent edges ideal for device architectures that require intricate features.
Nitinol Laser Cutting
Nitinol Laser Welding
Nitinol surface condition is critical to fatigue life and biocompatibility. Norman Noble provides fully validated finishing processes tailored to medical device requirements.
Nitinol Electropolishing
Nitinol Passivation
We manufacture a wide range of nitinol implants and components for orthopedic, cardiovascular, and minimally invasive devices, including:
Our Process Development Centers (PDCs) allow OEM engineers to partner with our team to develop, refine, and validate custom manufacturing processes before transitioning to scalable production.
Material Expertise
Decades of experience allow us to understand and control how nitinol behaves during machining, laser processing, finishing, and assembly.
Integrated Manufacturing Workflow
Critical steps—nitinol machining, laser processing, electropolishing, welding, and passivation—are performed in-house for consistent quality and shorter lead times.
Micro-Manufacturing Leadership
We excel at manufacturing small, complex nitinol components that require tight tolerances and high repeatability.
Validated Processes for Medical Devices
We support robust process development, validation, documentation, and traceability for regulated medical device manufacturing.
Whether you are designing a new nitinol stent, optimizing a nitinol plate or staple, or preparing a next-generation device for production, Norman Noble provides the engineering support and manufacturing capability needed to scale your innovation.
