Certainly, you may have many questions regarding high-precision turned and milled parts made of precious metals and our CNC services—whether about specific requirements, materials used, or areas of application. The manufacturing of high-precision turned and milled precious metal parts is a complex process that offers tailored solutions for a wide range of applications. To provide you with a comprehensive insight into this topic, we are ready to answer the most frequently asked questions.
These components are manufactured by precise CNC turning and milling of precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum, or palladium.
The abbreviation “CNC” stands for “Computerized Numerical Control,” which means “computergesteuerte numerische Steuerung” in German. In CNC machining, computers control machines like mills and lathes to automatically process workpieces with high precision.
Gold, silver, platinum, and palladium are the preferred materials for turned and milled parts because they offer outstanding properties.
Turned and milled precious metal parts are used in various industries, including jewelry manufacturing, watchmaking, electronics, medical technology, and aerospace, where precision CNC machining is required.
High corrosion resistance, excellent electrical conductivity, good mechanical properties, and an attractive aesthetic appearance.
Manufacturing is typically done through CNC machining, which enables highly precise turned and milled parts.
With modern CNC technologies, very tight tolerances of just a few micrometers can be achieved during manufacturing.
Turned and milled precious metal parts can be polished, gold-plated, rhodium-plated, matte-finished, or treated with other surface finishes to achieve the desired optical and functional properties.
Quality assurance is carried out through our CNC service, which includes visual inspections, dimensional checks, and material analyses.
Production ranges from small prototypes to large series, with our capacities flexibly adapting to customer requirements.
CNC-manufactured turned and milled precious metal parts can be individually packaged or shipped in batches according to customer needs to ensure safe and efficient handling.
Our production facilities are certified according to the following standards:
Numerous downstream industries rely on our high-quality metals.
Precise, functional, and economical – the combinations found in nature are our inspiration.
