Medical technology<\/h1>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n
\n

In medical technology series production, manufacturing costs are often driven less by component design than by production requirements: required dimensions must be maintained consistently, surfaces require additional post-processing, and every additional process step increases effort, risk, and cost.<\/p>\n

Our forming technologies address exactly these factors: they are chipless, achieve very tight tolerances, deliver high surface quality, and enable targeted work hardening in the formed area. The result: precise component production and stable process chains. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

In medical technology, geometry, material properties, and tolerances determine functionality, durability, and process reliability. Our forming processes are used wherever thin-walled and solid, rotationally symmetrical components must be manufactured with precision and reproducibility. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n

For certain components, the focus is not on the entire geometry but on a clearly defined area. Through targeted forming, material properties can be locally influenced, and functional zones can be reproducibly defined. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
