Technology & Products
Key Products
MicroStream Abrasive Flow Machining (AFM) systems in three lines: Comfort Line, Smart Line, and Performance Line; custom Streamer AFM media produced per customer requirement; vibratory finishing machines (round vibrators and trough vibrators); contract processing services (Lohnbearbeitung) for grinding and AFM; testing and development department; industrial cleaning technology; used machine sales.
Technological Advantage
CLAIMED: 30+ years of experience in grinding media production and AFM development; custom Streamer media individually produced per customer requirement and application task; ISO 9001:2015 certified; part of Pütz Group providing cross-group synergies beyond pure surface processing. VERIFIED: ISO 9001:2015 certification (stated on website). Not independently verified by third-party benchmarks or publications on this page.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Enables manufacturers of complex AM components to achieve uniform surface finish (Ra <0.4 µm) on internal channels and geometries impossible to reach with conventional polishing, reducing post-processing rejection rates for aerospace and medical implants; subcontracting AFM services eliminate the need for capital equipment investment.
How They Differentiate
Unlike Extrude Hone (the AFM pioneer, now part of Kennametal), Micro + Hega offers both AFM machine sales AND contract subcontracting services under one roof, plus industrial cleaning systems via the Pütz Group ecosystem. This integrated machine + service + cleaning approach reduces customer vendor complexity. Competitors like Rösler focus on mass finishing/vibratory rather than AFM for internal geometries.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Aerospace OEMs and tier-1 suppliers producing metal AM components with complex internal cooling channels or lattice structures requiring precise surface finishing; medical device manufacturers of orthopedic implants needing controlled surface roughness.
Industry Verticals
Aluminum Industry; Plastics/Extrusion Industry; Automotive; Medical Technology; Aerospace; Mold and Tool Making
Competitors
