Manufacturing Process

Beauty Instruments Manufacturing Process

1. Raw Material Selection

• Materials Used: High-quality stainless steel (usually 420, 440, or 304 grade), carbon steel, or titanium.

• Purpose: Ensures corrosion resistance, durability, and precision.

• Process: The steel is sourced in sheets, rods, or coils according to the type of instrument.

2. Forging / Cutting

• Forging: Steel is heated and hammered into rough shapes (for tools like scissors or tweezers).

• Cutting: Laser cutting or die-cutting is used to shape parts for finer instruments.

• Result: Rough blanks of tools in the desired shape.

3. Milling and Machining

• CNC and manual machines refine the instrument’s body, add grooves, edges, or joint areas.

• Drilling and slotting are done where required, such as in scissor hinges.

4. Heat Treatment

• Purpose: To increase hardness and strength.

• Instruments are heat-treated in furnaces and then cooled in oil or water (quenching).

• Afterward, tempering may follow to reduce brittleness.

5. Grinding and Filing

• Rough edges are smoothed.

• Blades are ground to shape (especially for scissors, nippers, and tweezers).

• Manual or machine filing creates the final contours and finishes.

6. Polishing and Buffing

• Types: Mirror finish, matte finish, satin finish, sand-blast finish.

• Uses buffing wheels and polishing compounds to give aesthetic and functional finish.

7. Joint Assembly

• For multi-part tools like scissors or nail nippers:

  • Riveting or screwing is used to join parts.

  • Tension and movement are adjusted for smooth function.

8. Sharpening

• Edges are sharpened manually or with precision machines.

• Quality control checks ensure the sharpness is consistent and safe.

9. Ultrasonic Cleaning

• Tools are cleaned using ultrasonic machines to remove oils, metal dust, and polishing residues.

10. Surface Coating / Plating (Optional)

• Some instruments are plated with nickel, gold, or black oxide for added protection or aesthetic appeal.

• Coating also helps reduce corrosion and improve sterilization compatibility.

11. Laser Marking / Branding

• Logos, sizes, and batch numbers are engraved using laser marking machines for branding and traceability.

12. Quality Control Inspection

• Each instrument is checked for:

  • Finish

  • Sharpness

  • Alignment

  • Functionality

• Non-conforming items are repaired or rejected.

13. Packaging

• Final instruments are packed in sterilized pouches, blister packs, or custom boxes.

• User manuals or branding inserts may be included.

14. Shipping

• Products are boxed in bulk and shipped to wholesalers, retailers, or directly to customers worldwide.
