Can't share prints without a NDA, but looking to source some complex (thin walls - down to 0.5 mm, long length to diameter ratio features/required tools, lots of 5 axis contouring, internal undercuts, etc) tight tolerance (down to 0.015 mm total tolerance zone on bore diameters, 0.025mm position tolerance between bores, ~0.02 mm runout tolerances, etc) magnesium (AZ31B, AZ80A, primarily) parts for medical devices. Most parts would fit into a 100 mm cube and many are significantly smaller.
If anyone has any recommendations for shops they've sourced work to in the past (or their own shops), that would be great. We have a few vendors right now and looking to expand our supplier base. Have had a hard time identifying new vendors local to us (San Jose, CA area) that check all the boxes (experience with mag [or willingness to machine it], 5 axis, tight tolerance, challenging parts) and hoping to expand our search more broadly, but not shotgun blind requests out all over the place.
Looking for an ongoing relationship into production, so not a one off order.
Any leads y'all have would be much appreciated!
