In the medical industry, metal parts play an integral role in a vast array of diagnostic, testing, medical instruments, and equipment. Although certain complex metal parts can only be machined, thinner gauge parts and enclosures are typically stamped using hard tooling or fabricated using lasers, turret presses, or press brakes. These parts include carts, cabinets, enclosures, and user workstations that safeguard sensitive controls, electronics, or hardware. While not as high tech as the diagnostic equipment itself, these structural components are still critical to the product's function and longevity.
