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.
|
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.
|
Flexible Production Volumes
|
NetShape Technologies supports customer production runs from thousands
of parts per year to the millions. Quick changeovers allow for agile
Capabilities and cost-effectiveness.
|
Close
Tolerances
|
NetShape Technologies has the ability to meet tolerances of down to +/-0.001". These tight tolerances avoid costly secondary machining Capabilities, therefore reducing costs and decreasing delivery time.
|
Self-Lubrication
|
The inherent properties of powder metal have unique advantages, such as self-lubrication via oil impregnation, offering you longer product life and low maintenance systems.
|
High-Strength/High-Density
|
NetShape's newly developed manufacturing processes push the
envelope for your strength and durability needs.
