Series Production

Additive Manufacturing (AM)

The potential of AM for series production is huge and the adaption is growing increasingly.

AM meets the expectations of high demanding industries where production processes and supply chains are complex and time consuming.

AM is widely used in very different applications through many different industries like aerospace, semi-conductors, (medical) equipment, machinery,

Vacuum Casting

Vacuum casting is a fast and cost-effective technique for producing high-quality plastic parts comparable with injection-molded components.

Parts are casted through a silicone mold, created from a printed part (the so called ‘master’).

Vacuuum Casting is suitable for function testing, marketing purposes or mimited series of end-use parts.

As we silicone tooling are used to cast parts, the tool can be applied multiple times to reproduce the same part. The materials used are resins, with properties comparable to those of most known plastics.

CNC Milling

CNC (Computer Numerical Control) milling is a machining process using computerized controls and rotating multi-point cutting tools to remove material from a workpiece and produce a custom-designed part or product.

Many different materials can be applied, such as metals, plastics and composites.

CNC provides production with high accuracy and repeatability for parts with complex geometries and has less need for manual intervention.

On the other hand, CNC requires high investment for equipment and setup is time consuming, requiring skilled operators and programmers.

Low-volume injection moulding

Injection molding is a manufacturing process for producing parts by injecting molten material into a mold. It is widely used for making a variety of parts, from small components to entire body panels of cars.

Many materials can be applied such as thermos plastics, thermos sets, elastomers, metals and ceramics.

The main advantages are a high efficiency and consistency in mass production and the availability of a wide range of materials.

On the other hand initial cost are high and parts require careful consideration of design to avoid defects.

Using tools made from aluminium or steel, we use high-volume production techniques and materials for low-volume production – which is the main advantage of this technique.
