TOOL AND PROCESS DESIGN
 

Advanced design and continuous product optimisation are achieved thanks to our highly experienced engineers and the state-of-the-art design and simulation software. SMB collaborates with its customer from the early stages of development through to the final process and product design.

The structural integrity of our forgings delivers parts with the required properties for the intended use. The control of the grain flow in SMB’s forgings produces excellent directional properties such as strength, ductility, resistance to impact and fatigue. The repeatability of structural and directional properties is achieved through thermo-mechanical processing of high performance alloys by controlling deformation variables.

SMB has a state-of-the-art in-house die and tool production with a large capacity of 3-and 5-axis CNC heavy high speed milling centres. This ensures the required precision machining of our tool steels.
