High-Mix Precision for Complex Orthopedics
Viant Brimfield specializes in high-mix, low-volume manufacturing for orthopedic implants and complex instrumentation. A fully dedicated off-line new product development center and seasoned NPI team enable a smoother path to launch.
The site’s specialty in implants and instruments covers joint reconstruction, spine, and trauma—from cutting and alignment guides to multi-level assemblies and trial components.
Behind the operation is a seasoned team with decades of experience launching new platforms. Dedicated NPI support, lights-out machining, and advanced capacity modeling help programs move quickly, scale intelligently, and stay on track as demand evolves.

| Core Capabilities | Our Approach | What it Means For You |
|---|---|---|
| NPI | Dedicated NPI team executing ViaLaunch™ methodology and 3P events, with cross-functional resources (PM, NPI Manager, QEs, MEs, Buyer) aligned from kickoff through production release. | New programs move from concept to validated production with fewer surprises, tighter timelines, and lower launch risk. |
| Program Management | Program management support grounded in EPMO and PMBOK® best practices, with Lean and Six Sigma principles embedded throughout. Viant’s team aligns to program goals, proactively manages risk, and maintains clear communication at every stage. | Clear ownership and proactive risk management from kickoff through delivery that supports audit readiness. |
| Material Expertise | Experience machining orthopedic metals used in implants and instrumentation, including stainless steels, titanium alloys, cobalt chrome, and specialty materials, with processing aligned to downstream assembly and finishing needs. | Materials are machined consistently to support complex features, reliable assembly, and functional performance. |
| Precision Machining | High-precision multi-axis CNC machining including 5-axis milling, 3- and 4-axis milling, CNC turning and mill-turn, Swiss machining, and wire EDM, optimized for complex, high-mix production. | Tight tolerances and complex geometries are achieved reliably, even across small batches and evolving designs. |
| Secondary Operations & Finishing | In-house secondary operations including blasting, delicate polishing, cleaning, passivation, laser marking, TIG welding, dome OXY welding, and instrument-level finishing. | Parts transition smoothly from machining through finishing without unnecessary handoffs or rework. |
| Assembly & Sub-Assembly | Mechanical assembly and sub-assembly for orthopedic instruments and multi-level systems, supported by in-process inspection and functional verification. | Assemblies fit and function as intended, reducing downstream adjustments and delays. |
| Manufacturing Automation | Use of palletized and lights-out machining strategies to stabilize processes and efficiently support high-mix production environments. | Improved responsiveness and throughput without sacrificing precision or flexibility. |
| Metrology & Inspection | CMM inspection, automated inspection, and in-process measurement strategies aligned to complex orthopedic components and assemblies. | Confidence that parts meet specifications before advancing to trials, assembly, or customer release. |
