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 Touch

Tool Repair

Selective build-up of worn cutting edges, forming contours and functional surfaces — without replacing the entire tool.

Functional 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.
