Case Study

Cast components for cleanroom applications

Project: Housing with cast-in cooling channels

How we work with our customers to integrate 20 machined parts into a single cast component

By integrating multiple components into a cast design, many manufacturing steps such as CNC-machining and assembly are reduced.
