Explore how coatings serve as powerful tools to insulate, dissipate, and protect against heat in electronics, aerospace, construction, and more.
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.
