Extending the tool service life also keeps the number of tool changes and associated downtime to a minimum, resulting in lower overall energy consumption.
Creators, innovators, makers, PIONEERS and partners gathered in the Digital Hub in Munich, between Nov 8-10, to design digital tools for the industrial world.
Our experts develop materials and coating solutions that increase the life span of tools and components, without losing sight of the essential: Cost-effective results.

From orthopedic implants to surgical tools, MetcoMed™ powders are engineered for high-performance additive manufacturing of medical components.
It was developed for high-precision tools made from non-ferrous metals or tool steels where abrasion and material adhesion occur simultaneously.
The innovations significantly extend tool service life in demanding machining applications while reducing production costs.
With a coating height of almost 1.5 m, even the biggest forming tools, extra-large and long cutting tools and components can be coated.
