Prototypes and production molds

Tools for prototype and series

We can supply prototypes in one-off production (ultra-precision machining) or from prototype moulds. As an alternative to ultra-precision machining, prototypes of optical fibres and lenses can be produced by milling and polishing. We produce some of the blanks and semi-finished products required for this ourselves.
Inserts for molds usually will be finished on ultra precision diamond turning machines for the realization of highest form accuracy (e.g. <1/m) and perfect surface roughness (e.g. Ra<5nm).

The product design determines the appropriate production technology (quality-efficiency-economy) like straight injection molding or compression molding or expansion compression. The molds will be designed to fulfill the process requests.
