Regenerative treatments restore bodily functions lost due to injury, disease, or aging by utilizing the body’s own regenerative power. Mitsubishi Materials is developing cutting tools for machining parts for artificial joints, artificial bones, and other products in the field of biological substitution, in which body parts are replaced to restore functionality.
Cutting tools are used to cut or remove excess layers of metals into certain shapes. Difficult-to- cut materials such as cobalt-chromium, titanium, and stainless steel alloys are often used for artificial joints, artificial bones, and other products. Since machining them is difficult and the tools wear out easily, there is a need to develop cutting tools that can be used for longer periods of time. By handling the development of everything from materials to finished products, Mitsubishi Materials has commercialized products with higher machining efficiency and longer tool life than conventional tools. As one of the few cutting tool manufacturers with a lineup extensive enough to provide the optimal product for the intended use, we are highly regarded by many medical device manufacturers.

The VQXL series was developed to achieve long tool life and consistent machining quality in the manufacture of small precision parts made of difficult-to-cut materials such as titanium and SUS alloys.
