Complex products and modern high-tech materials are placing ever greater demands on precision tools.

Initially reserved for the engines and airframes of military reconnaissance aircraft, titanium has long since become an integral part of our everyday lives thanks to its outstanding properties.

Dental implants, electronic components, watch movements, micro ball bearings – miniaturization is omnipresent.

New high-performance materials, the transition from combustion engines to alternative drive concepts, high innovation and cost pressure – in order to master these and future challenges, machining companies and tool manufacturers must identify and exploit optimization potential.

Anyone who thinks that diamond coatings are only suitable for shank tools and that PCD is always required on cutting inserts in corresponding applications is mistaken
