Hi, sorry, the links for the pages could not be opened at my end.
Ian.
Good afternoon, I am a ing. Mechanical of venezuela, my idea with my brother who is ing. metal to form a small company in charge of manufacturing medical prosthesis (screws, plates, nails and prosthetic femur, ect ...). Now the materials that we know work are alloys of titanium and stainless steel, but I doubt that this machine is more suited to my needs ... I am an official 4-axis milling machine cnc? or heart attacks? a 5-axis machining?
This page is an idea of the pieces that I want to construct ...

Thanks in advance, any opinion would help xq is in theory but in practice I
Sorry for my english...

Definitelly you will need high precision lathe (most probably CNC because you will produce series, right?) and also milling centre.
Concerning the lathe I can help you to get one to Venezuela.
Yeah, definately some exotic machiney, out of my league of knowledge.
You'll also need some polishing equipment, probably some heat treating facilities too.
Can the parts be investment cast?

Historically, titanium has been perceived as a material that is difficult to machine. Due to titanium’s growing acceptance in many industries, along with the experience gained by progressive fabricators, a broad base of titanium machining knowledge now exists.
Many of titanium’s material and component design characteristics make it expensive to machine.
With higher alloy content and hardness, the machinability of titanium alloys by traditional chip-making methods generally decreases.
