YSF Medical was pleased to welcome the Veterans Affairs Council Mechanical Design and CNC Multi-Axis Machining Program for an on-site visit. The exchange focused on industry, academia collaboration and hands-on learning. Through guided tours of our manufacturing and quality control facilities, participants gained a deeper understanding of how precision machining technologies are applied in the production of orthopedic medical devices. The visit also fostered two-way learning between industry and academia, reinforcing the value of knowledge sharing through practical engagement.

Bridging Classroom Theory and Real-World Manufacturing Practice

The visit included guided tours of the milling, turning, and quality assurance departments. From multi-axis CNC machining equipment to hands-on process management, the tour offered a comprehensive overview of the critical manufacturing stages involved in medical device production. This on-site experience enabled participants to gain a clearer and more well-rounded understanding of the precision manufacturing landscape.
In the milling department, participants observed multi-axis CNC machines operating up close, gaining insight into how orthopedic implants and surgical instrument components are machined with high precision. The visit underscored the critical role that precision machining plays in ensuring the quality and reliability of medical devices.
At the turning department, on-site demonstrations of Swiss-type turning and mill-turn processes enabled participants to observe how complex medical components can be completed within a single machining sequence. This approach effectively balances precision and production efficiency, while also showcasing its technical value in manufacturing high-precision medical devices such as cannulated bone screws.

Quality Management Practices in Medical Device Manufacturing

In addition to observing manufacturing operations, participants visited the quality assurance department to gain a deeper understanding of how quality management is implemented in the medical device industry. From incoming material inspection and in-process quality control to final product release, each stage relies on standardized procedures and thorough documentation to ensure consistent execution. Through on-site discussions and practical examples, participants gained a clearer and more concrete understanding of the ISO 13485 medical device quality management system. They also recognized that quality is not the responsibility of a single department but a fundamental principle embedded throughout the entire manufacturing process and upheld collectively across the organization.

Two-Way Exchange Supporting Industry, Academic Collaboration

Toward the end of the visit, a discussion session was organized to encourage open exchange. Participants posed thoughtful and in-depth questions about multi-axis CNC machining practices, the characteristics of the medical device industry, and on-site management. The YSF Medical team shared insights drawn from years of manufacturing experience, fostering a two-way dialogue in a professional yet relaxed atmosphere.
Through this interactive exchange, participants were able to connect classroom learning with real-world industry practices. Simultaneously, it provided the company with an opportunity to reflect on how collaboration with the education sector can be further strengthened, supporting the joint development of precision manufacturing talent aligned with industry needs.

Strengthening Collaboration Between Industry and Academia to Enhance Competitiveness in Precision Manufacturing

YSF Medical firmly believes that the long-term competitiveness of the precision manufacturing industry depends on talent development, accumulated technical expertise, and stable, ongoing collaboration between industry and academia. Through active participation in the CNC training program, we look forward to continuing to promote industry-academia cooperation and contributing robust technical capabilities to Taiwan’s precision machining and medical device manufacturing sectors.
We sincerely thank the Veterans Affairs Council Mechanical Design and CNC Multi-Axis Machining Program for their visit and valuable exchange. We look forward to future opportunities for continued collaboration.
