Precision machining in record time.

Over the last three years it has been growing in significance due to its work for the Porsche LMP1 team in the World Endurance Championship. On a shop floor measuring 10,500 m², over 260 quality-conscious employees guarantee seamless production of the challenging vehicle components.

In doing so, toolcraft utilises the full range of machining methods, supported by 15 CNC machines from DMG MORI. The components range from heat-resistant manifold flanges made of nickel-based alloys to highly resilient wheel bearings. Christoph Hauck, Managing Director of toolcraft, explains: “We produce prototypes, small batches and medium batches of several hundred components per year.” The diverse and powerful machine capacity provides the necessary flexibility. Highly advanced production methods are also necessary to meet the high quality standards. “This is where we benefit from the high level of innovation of DMG MORI”, adds Christoph Hauck, referring to the recently developed LASERTEC 65 3D. toolcraft currently operates four laser melting machines and sees great potential for complex geometries in the combination of laser deposition welding and milling on one machine.
