FLEXIBLE
Maximum accuracy without tool binding
Machining
Machining enables the precise manufacture of components with tight tolerances, complex contours and excellent surface quality from almost any material. The process offers maximum flexibility for prototypes, small batches and short-notice orders.
Customer benefits: Design engineers benefit from a high degree of design freedom, tight tolerances and rapid adjustments during the development process. Purchasing managers benefit from short lead times, minimal tooling commitment and precise, ready-to-install components.
What is Machining?
Machining is a subtractive manufacturing process in which the desired component geometry is created by mechanically removing material. Typical processes include turning, milling, drilling, grinding and CNC machining.
The process is suitable for almost all materials and enables very tight tolerances and high-quality surfaces. As no special casting, pressing or forming tools are required, machining is particularly flexible and is suitable for prototypes, individual parts, small batches and components subject to frequent design changes.
Machining is often the right solution when precision, short lead times and technical flexibility are the main priorities.
