The standard tailstock manufacturing method creates toughness inconsistencies in the operational area of the piece. Thanks to a new hybrid process based on the idea of additive manufacturing, this hardness could be homogenized and the onset of cracks and fractures could be avoided, performing with increased precision and efficiency.

Area of the company where the solution is focused:

Tailstock manufacturing

Benefits of the Solution:

• Upgrading of the properties of the manufactured item
• Better use of specific materials
• Reduction of the required supplies for the manufacturing process

Incorporated Technologies:

• Laser Metal Deposition technology (LMD)
• Localised thermic treatments
