Industry 05
Advanced materials and deeptechLet the material perform as designed.
Develop new products in amorphous metals, ceramics, composites, superalloys and layered materials without designing around the limits of heat or tool wear.
Why Finecut
When the process must protect the part.
Deeptech development often starts with a material conventional processes cannot machine economically or without damage. Finecut creates a versatile route from first geometry to industrial production while keeping the material at the centre of the process.
Unknown process window
Use test cutting and application engineering to establish cutting data before scaling.
Hard or brittle materials
Avoid rapid tool wear, thermal cracks and recast layers in demanding material systems.
Evolving products
Configure a modular Finecut system and add options as the application and production concept mature.
Applications built around the requirement.
Every application is qualified against the actual material, thickness, geometry, tolerance, edge-quality target and production volume.
Metallic glasses
Machine amorphous alloys with complex geometry while protecting the properties that make the material valuable.
Engineering ceramics
Cut alumina, zirconia, silicon carbide and glass ceramics using a cold erosion process.
Composites and superalloys
Process CFRP, aramid, titanium, nickel alloys and multi-material stacks on one platform.
Configure the complete system
Start with the part. Select the motion next.
Material, drawing, thickness and tolerance define the first test-cut programme.
Select cutting system, motion, workholding, measurement, abrasive handling and software modules.
Transfer proven cutting data, fixtures and operator routines into repeatable production.
Finecut options and software modules can extend capability as requirements develop.
Proof, not assumptions
Validate before you scale.
Vulkam selected a Finecut WMC500II 5X, type ABX for precision machining of advanced amorphous-metal components.
Performance depends on the complete application. Finepart uses test cutting and application engineering to define a credible process window and the right Finecut configuration.
