Abstract
Implant in the form of plates and metal fasteners is essential devices in the treatment of
fractured and broken bones in human skeletons. An implant is regarded as a luxury item
due to its high cost and limited availability. The implants are still imported and
information regarding their production is limited and controlled by the existing
manufactures. Since there are no specific bodies responsible in producing implants to
fulfill the expanding needs domestically, efforts must be taken in identifying an
effective manufacturing process. Stainless steel 316L is selected as the material for the
product due to its availability and low cost in the domestic market. The redesign of the
implant is carried out in parallel with the identified process of manufacture. The tools
used in the manufacturing of the implants are designed, fabricated and tested for their
effectiveness in producing prototype that match the manufacturing standards.
Cost evaluation is made with the objective of proving the appropriateness of the
selected manufacturing process. This research ends with recommendations on the
specifications of vital machines suitable for the implant production. It is very much
hoped that the selected manufacturing process will pave the way for the local
manufacturing industry to fulfill the arising needs without having to rely on others.
