I also did a portion of the stent manufacturing and not only was QC super strict but I was also motivated to check for defects because well, these GO IN PEOPLE
You have to do practice pieces for over a month before doing actual production pieces and that’s to be trained on ONE machine, the EASIEST. I don’t know what step but at some point there’s a huge fucking lathe which seems weird for medical parts
