Made to measure
The detailed list of patterns available from our tooling (shape, section, open area) is being updated. In the meantime, send us the reference you are looking for: we will confirm whether it already exists in our tooling, with no development costs.
We design and machine our tools in-house. A new geometry, a particular pitch, a decorative pattern taken from your drawing: tell us the function you need and we will tell you what can be done, at what tooling cost and in what lead time.
Send us your drawing or the function you need: we will suggest the most suitable pattern.
