Tool Repair
Selective build-up of worn cutting edges, forming contours and functional surfaces — without replacing the entire tool.
Toolmaking
Metal Additive Manufacturing in Toolmaking
Repair worn forming and injection molds, apply functional hard coatings and extend tool service life with Laser Metal Deposition (LMD/DED) — precise, economical and without full tool replacement.
Get in TouchFunctional Coatings
Application of hard, wear-resistant or corrosion-resistant coatings on tool surfaces to extend service life.
Cooling Channel Integration
Integration of conformal cooling channels in molds through hybrid additive-subtractive manufacturing.
Geometry Correction
Correction of out-of-tolerance areas on expensive special tools — instead of complete replacement.
Material Hybridization
Combination of different materials in one tool: hard surface coating on tough base material.
Fast Turnaround
Rapid repair of damaged tools minimizes downtime and avoids expensive procurement of new tools.
