The Twin Cities metro is a major hub for medical device manufacturing — home to Medtronic, Boston Scientific, and hundreds of contract machine shops serving the med-tech supply chain. Swiss turning, micro-machining, and precision grinding dominate the local shop landscape.

How It Works
Submit your project through the Axhera Network — upload a drawing or describe the work. The network matches you with verified shops in the Minneapolis area that have the right machines, the right experience, and open capacity. You get quotes directly from the shop doing the work, not through a markup layer.
