the benefits of technology

Customer satisfaction is our priority and we support our customers from the development stages of the project, to find the best solution, both from a technical, industrial and economic point of view.

IT MANUFACTURE

RELY ON MADE IN ITALY SKILLS FOR A FLEXIBLE
AND DYNAMIC PRODUCTION

Microfound is a strategic partner for the supply of investment castings in steel and special alloys, as well as all related services: co-design, prototyping, advanced controls, finishing, polishing and mechanical machining.

Microfusione

IITALIAN MANUFACTURING

The Italian production plant, in the province of Reggio Emilia, is a combination of advanced technology and highly qualified personnel.
The Italian production plant is a system capable of offering:

  • Co-design and industrialization

  • Cast engineering, Casting simulation

  • Prototyping and pre-series for fast-to-market

  • Casting of complex parts in steel alloys and materials that are difficult to machine

  • Medium and low volumes of components from 1.5 g to 25 kg

MECHANICAL WORKING

To supply the finished component, Microfound uses a consolidated network of companies specialized in processes related to micro-casting, from heat treatments to precision mechanical machining.

Thanks to the network of specialized workshops in the area, which carry out mechanical processing, Microfound supplies the finished product in compliance with the specifications, guaranteeing high quality standards.

GLOBAL SOURCING

THE SOLUTION TO GET HIGH VOLUMES
AT COMPETITIVE COSTS

Microfound has been working for over twenty years in outsourcing with a network of Asian foundries capable of meeting the most rigorous standards required by the market in terms of quality and delivery times.

OUTSOURCED MARKETING SERVICE

Thanks to the collaboration with selected Asian foundries, Microfound offers a secure outsourced service for the production of high volumes at affordable costs, modulated according to customer needs.
Service management, logistics and quality control before delivery are entirely followed by Microfound’s Italian headquarters through the dedicated MComponents line.

M COMPONENTS GUARANTEES:

  • Continuous support from design to delivery

  • Medium/high batch production
  • Competitive costs
  • Warehouse management
  • Quality control and compliance with required quality standards

PROTOTYPING AND PRE-SERIES

REDUCE TIME TO MARKET
WITH RAPID PROTOTYPING AND SMALL SERIES

MPrototype is the service for those who want to quickly develop a new project and transform the idea into a finished product in a very short time.

3D PRINTED PROTOTYPES

Microfound uses the Projet MJP 2500 IC 3D printer to 3D print the wax models.
Perfectly integrated into the production process, the wax models allow us to obtain, without the construction of the mould, high quality prototype and pre-series castings with low surface roughness.

THE ADVANTAGES OF M PROTOTYPE:

  • Fusion of prototypes and small series
  • Short lead times
  • Elimination of mould manufacturing costs and times
  • Samples for functional tests
  • Maximum design freedom
  • Low surface roughness
  • High precision and repeatability

SURFACE TREATMENTS AND FINISHES

SURFACE TREATMENTS
FOR METALS AND MICROCASTED CASTINGS

Microfound has an internal service specialized in surface treatments and finishes of metals and investment castings.

SURFACE TREATMENTS AND FINISHES

Post-casting surface treatments improve the aesthetic appearance and finish of the metal surface, but also its mechanical and physical characteristics, corrosion resistance and protection. These treatments are often necessary when the component is used in environments subjected to significant stress or aggressive agents, or in the case in which the products have particular handling needs, such as pharmaceutical, chemical or food products.

The choice of treatment and final finish depends on the type of steel or metal in which the component is cast and its future use.

Microfound, with the contribution of Bigliardi Gianni S.r.l., a historic company in the steel finishing sector, creates the new MFinishing service.

MFinishing is able to provide a wide range of treatments performed internally, in order to increasingly be your one supplier.

SCOTCH BRITE POLISHING AND SATIN FINISHING OF SHEET METAL AND ITS PROTECTION

Cold-rolled sheet metal is polished and satin finished with special rollers, in order to obtain the required finish. The final protection of the polished surface occurs by applying the PVC protective film for fiber laser.
Maximum workable dimensions 6,000 x 2,000 mm.

THE MFINISHING LINE OFFERS:

  • Satining and grinding
  • Mirror polishing
  • Electropolishing

  • Tumble finishing Butting and vibropolishing
  • Industrial polishing
  • Ultrasonic cleaning
  • Peening and sandblasting
