Technology & Products

Key Products

Precision machined components (aluminum, plastics, brass, copper, steels, titanium); Additive manufacturing services (metal and polymer 3D printing); Electronics subcontracting (PCB assemblies, industrial electronics); Prototypes, assembly, and testing; Equipment assembly and cable harnesses

Technological Advantage

Investment in advanced AM equipment like the miniFactory Ultra 3D printer for ultra-polymers (2020) and dedicated AM development leadership (Dr. Jukka Pakkanen) to enhance capabilities. ISO 9001:2015 certification ensures quality standards.

Differentiation

Value Proposition

Offers comprehensive manufacturing from design to finished products, combining traditional CNC machining with additive manufacturing to enable flexible production, reduce lead times for prototypes and small series, and integrate 3D-printed components into conventional workflows.

How They Differentiate
