MBFZ toolcraft GmbH

toolcraft is a pioneer of forward-looking technologies, such as 3D metal printing and the construction of customised turnkey robotic solutions. As a provider of comprehensive solutions, toolcraft covers the entire process chain, from the initial idea to manufacturing, quality assurance and testing in the areas of CNC machining, 3D metal printing, injection moulding, spark erosion (EDM) and mould making. Its clients include market leaders in the semiconductors, aerospace, medical technology, optical, special machinery manufacturing, motor sports and automotive industries. Building close working relationships with collaborative partners as well as research centres and universities is an important part of its corporate philosophy. toolcraft has been manufacturing 3D-printed precision components since 2011. Operations started with a single machine and have now expanded to encompass ten. The company can map the entire process chain on its premises – from design and simulation to manufacture, heat treatment (vacuum furnace) and machine finishing to optical, tactile, and non-destructive testing. FEM calculations and topology optimisations are also integrated. The entire process is Nadcap-certified, thus meeting the stringent requirements of the aerospace industry.
