Milling and turning of prototypes, small series and special components

In our CNC machining department we offer milled and turned prototypes and carry out CNC machining on cast components. We mainly focus on the materials aluminium, magnesium and zinc.

Some facts about the machining department

• Approximately 25 dedicated employees.
• A total of 13 Hightech machining centers.
• 24 hour operation – 7 days a week.
• Newest CAM software - Mastercam and Hypermill.
• In-House measurement and documentation.

Die casting prototypes and small series in aluminium, magnesium and zinc

Using the high pressure die casting process, prototypes and small series can be cast in aluminium, magnesium and zinc in only 4 - 8 weeks.

Following the casting process, we offer CNC post-processing of the cast items on state-of-the-art CNC machining centers, including measurements and documentation.

The advantages

• Professional support/close dialog in the design phase

• Delivery time from 4-8 working weeks

• Low tooling investments

• Die cast properties for optimal prototyping tests

• Fast and cheap tooling changes can be carried out

• Rapid pilot-runs for fast market introduction

• Short-run manufacturing of only 100 - 1.000 parts

Extremely fast prototype castings in aluminium, magnesium and zinc

Using this process, cast prototypes and small series can be made in aluminium, magnesium and zinc as well as various other metals in 5 - 10 workdays.

Following the casting process, we offer CNC post-processing of the cast items on state-of-the-art CNC machining centers, including measurements and documentation.

The advantages

Delivery time from 5 working days
No tool costs are required
Extremely complex parts with undercuts can easily be produced. Also drafts angles and parting-line definitions are not required.
Thin wall thicknesses of from 1 mm or less can be produced
The level of porosities is very limited because vacuum is applied in the casting process
A number of different alloys can be offered
