CNC machining
CNC machining is a computer controlled manufacturing method, where programmed software controls a multitude of complex machinery based on pre determined movements. The wide range of complex machinery controlled by the software includes amongst others mills, turns and drills.
CNC milling is a well-established manufacturing process capable of highly-accurate parts with surface finishes up to the highest standards. This process produces parts with a rotary cutting tool with a geometrically-determined edge.
CNC turning, also known as lathing, is especially useful for centrally symmetric parts. Turning machines operate with a geometrically-determined cutting edge. This process makes accurate parts with short lead times.
CNC drilling produces holes in preparation for threading or for end-use. This process offers high reproducibility and applies to most materials. In CNC drilling, bits with a geometrically- determined cutting edge are used as tools.
CNC laser cutting involves a high-powered laser beam that cuts sheet metal. This manufacturing process can produce exact and intricate designs, offering a cleaner, smoother cut than other manufacturing technologies.
Additive manufacturing
Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) is used for manufacturing complex and dimensionally stable metal parts. It requires an inert gas atmosphere and a laser, whose thermal energy is used to melt metal powder which is stored in a powder bed.
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is a technology quite similar to Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF), but instead of metal, plastic materials build the basis to create parts. It is equally capable of creating highly- accurate parts.
Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) is a powder bed technology that builds up the manufactured parts layer-by-layer. It is a very accurate manufacturing technology with short building times as well as a high output in terms of volume.
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) produces parts out of thermo-plastics with a heated and moveable nozzle. The technology is cost-efficiency and has short end-to-end lead times while offering scalability.
SLA
Stereolithography uses a high-powered laser to cure layers of liquid resin into a finished part. It's ideal for creating highly detailed and intricate prototypes or small-scale production runs requiring high accuracy and resolution.
WAAM
Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing uses an electric arc to melt and deposit metal wire onto a substrate. This technology is ideal for producing large metal parts quickly and efficiently. The process can use a variety of metals, including steel, titanium, and aluminum.
Binder jetting
DLP
Digital Light Processing uses a projector to cure liquid resin into a solid part. The projector selectively cures the resin layer by layer, building the object from the bottom up. DLP printing is known for its accuracy and resolution.
Polyjet
PolyJet uses inkjet technology to deposit liquid photopolymer onto a build tray. The printer then deposits material layer by layer and cures it with UV light. The parts are highly detailed with a smooth surface finish.
Binder Jetting uses a binder agent to bond powder particles together to create a part. It's ideal for producing large and complex parts quickly and efficiently. Typical uses include metal parts, ceramic parts, and sand molds for casting.

Blasted
An abrasive medium is applied to the component under high pressure. By using different media (e.g. corundum, sand or glass beads), both functional (achieving a certain surface roughness) and optical (polishing the surface) finishing can be performed.
Color dyed
In the dyeing process, the plastic component is immersed in a water bath. The resulting chemical reaction causes the dye to penetrate the component. Characteristics of this are, on the one hand, a homogeneous color gradient and, on the other hand, an unchanging but more scratch-resistant surface.
Painted
During painting additional color is applied to the printed part. This can be done by using a professional spray painting system. To get the desired output the part is properly prepared through accurate cleaning and by applying a clearcoat. Painting can be particularly useful to enhance the design of your printed part or to facilitate the evaluation of a printed prototype.
Sanded
Sanding is performed for smoothing the part and removing any obvious blemishes, such as support marks or blobs using sandpaper. The chosen sandpaper depends on the layer height and print quality desired.
Sealed
The sealing process is performed with an aqueous solution to close the outer surface or skin of the part and fill in small pores that could be in the part’s surface. The sealing solution is manually applied or through dipping depending on the part’s geometry.
Smoothed
In the smoothing process, the plastic component is reworked by a chemical reaction. The top layer of the component is dissolved by a medium in a solution bath and the result is a very smooth surface.
Tumbled
In tumbling, the metal or plastic part is reworked by grinding media in a container. The parts are deburred, finely ground and polished by vibration or rotation of the container.
Polished
Polishing is a finishing process for smoothing a workpiece's surface by using an abrasive. By repeating this process throughout different stages with reduced roughness of the abrasive, you create a smooth and polished surface.
Heat treated
During heat treatment, the material is heated to a desired temperature. After reaching and remaining at this temperature, the material is cooled back down. As a result, the material properties can be specifically adapted to individual use cases. For specifications of the heat treatment procedures carried out for each material, visit the corresponding data sheets.
CNC machined
We offer CNC machining for post-processing which includes turning, milling and drilling among other possibilities. Advantages of CNC machining are its dimensional stability, low surface roughness and its flexibility for customer-specific requirements. CNC machining requires a drawing for our engineers to assess the work required. Tolerances available upon request.
Other technologies
Injection molding
Injection molding uses a mold to inject molten material into a shaped cavity to create a solid object. This technology can produce high-quality and high-precision parts with a wide range of materials and is widely used in mass production.
Sheet metal fabrication
Sheet metal fabrication cuts, bends, and shapes metal into various forms and sizes using specialized tools and machinery. This manufacturing process is ideal for producing precise parts in large quantities with cost-effectiveness.
Vacuum casting
Vacuum casting uses a master pattern to create a silicon mold, which is then filled with liquid plastic. This technology is ideal for small numbers of complex, high-quality plastic parts requiring excellent surface finishes and accuracy.
