PCT No. PCT/SE95/00809 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 23, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 23, 1996 PCT Filed Jun. 30, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/01082 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 18, 1996A method for producing artificial supporting members in the human body is provided. In a first manufacturing stage, at least two support part members are matched together by machining contact surfaces on the supporting part members via which the supporting members are joined. Also during this stage, positional information regarding the relative positions of the contact surfaces and the supporting part members is identified. In a second manufacturing stage, the supporting part members are joined together using the positional information and are applied on a bearing member in relation to a plane. The plane extends at right angles with respect to a selected direction of the supporting member parts when they are in their matched positions. At least one of a wire feeding track and the bearing member are moved whereby the position of the wire feeding track is altered with respect to the plane. The wire feeding track is moved to cross connection portions of the supporting part members. As the wire feeding track crosses the connection portions, the supporting part member is machined to create a contact surface which can cooperate with another contact surface on another supporting part member. The positional information obtained during the first manufacturing stage is based on the positional relationship of the wire feeding track and the bearing member in the plane.
