Engineering Accuracy into Every Component
Viant Wheeling is an advanced metal processing site that excels in supporting fabrication of complex components for surgical and orthopedic technologies.
Among the many life-enhancing medical products it produces, the on-site team has developed a specialty for supporting arthroscopy, shavers and burs, biopsy, spine, and interventional programs.
Much of the site’s operational success can be attributed to a steadfast commitment to customers and their project goals—from implementing Lean Six Sigma values to providing a dedicated NPI team.
By owning critical components and sub-assemblies under locked manufacturing processes, Wheeling helps OEMs reduce downstream risk while successfully maintaining performance over the life of their program.

| 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 | Deep experience machining surgical device metals including tool steels, stainless steels, titanium, and specialty alloys. Material selection and processing aligned to sharpness, durability, machining performance, and regulatory expectations. | Materials are chosen and processed to deliver the edge quality, strength, and longevity required for surgical performance. |
| Precision Machining | Advanced CNC machining including Swiss machining, multi-axis milling, turning, EDM (wire & sink), grinding, laser processing, and micro-feature creation for shavers, burrs, arthroscopy tools, and interventional components. | Tight tolerances, consistent edge geometry, and repeatable performance at production volumes. |
| Surface Finishing & Cleaning | In-house finishing processes including validated deburring, electropolishing, passivation, bead blasting, laser marking, and ultrasonic cleaning for metal components. | Functional finishes that support device safety, corrosion resistance, traceability, and regulatory compliance. |
| Complex Assembly | Laser welding, induction welding, over-molding, and mechanical sub-assembly supporting component-level integration. | Reliable joining and integrated sub-components that maintain dimensional integrity and functional performance. |
| Manufacturing Automation | Lights-out machining and automated CNC cells used for high-volume, low-mix production of precision components. | Improved consistency, throughput, and cost control for programs moving into sustained production. |
| Metrology & Inspection | CMM, optical measurement systems, tool inspection, dimensional verification, and validated post-process inspection under controlled conditions. | Confidence that parts meet exact specifications before next-phase processing. |
