    VALUE-ADDED SERVICES

     
         
    NetShape Technologies has industrialized a wide array of value-added services to meet our customers' specific and ever changing requirements. These are but a few examples of how we help customers improve design cycles, reduce cost, speed time-to-market and manage inventory.

     
         

    Conversioneering™

    Utilizing a comprehensive, engineered, step-by-step process, NetShape Technologies can help convert existing manufactured components to either powder metal or metal injection molding technology, often times saving between 10-50% over other processing technologies without sacrificing performance. NetShape Technologies combines metallurgical/product design engineering science with state-of-the-art computer aided modeling/design packages to deliver a cost effective technology solution that exceeds customers’ requirements.

    Secondary Processes


    NetShape Technologies offers a full range of secondary processing Capabilities so that components are delivered meeting final specifications. Secondary processes include sizing, coining, CNC machining, CNC turning, ID/OD grinding, surface grinding, plating, drilling, and tapping.

    Assembly

    NetShape Technologies offers a variety of customized assembly solutions utilizing various commodities to provide customers with greater manufacturing efficiency.

    Supply Chain Management

    NetShape Technologies helps customers improve ROI by employing proven forecasting, JIT and managed inventory programs to their products.
     
       
     
       
     
       

    FEATURES & BENEFITS

     
         

    Low Cost

    Did you know that the average NetShape Technologies customer saves 25-50% over machined bar stock? Our manufacturing process greatly reduces - if not eliminates - the need for expensive secondary Capabilities. We also lower your costs by reducing the amount of waste produced when compared to other manufacturing methods, so your investment goes toward actual product.

    Part-to-Part Uniformity

    NetShape's robust powder metal or MIM processes coupled with our six sigma manufacturing philosophy produces extremely consistent parts each and every time. For example, because P/M uses a single forming mold to manufacture each part, gear teeth are identical from the first to the last part.

    Speed-to-Market

    A proven new product introduction process, coupled with advanced engineering and mechanical modeling techniques, delivers optimal product launch success. Due to the nature of P/M and MIM tooling, procurement times are shorter than competing processes.

    High-Performance Material Alloy Choices

    NetShape's parts can be manufactured with special alloys and high temperature sintered or sinter hardened for ultra-high strength and durability. Tested under the most severe operating conditions, your parts will exceed the demands of your application while maintaining the defined specifications. For example, our sintered hardened backing plates have an ultimate tensile strength to 100,000 psi while maintaining desired flatness tolerances.
