Simtek is set to showcase its groundbreaking 3D-lasered chip forming geometries at AMB Stuttgart, marking a significant advancement in metalworking tooling. After extensive in-house and customer testing, the technology has proven to enhance chip control, process reliability, and efficiency—particularly in challenging applications with long-chipping materials.
Customized Solutions for Complex Applications
The 3D-lasered geometries enable tailored chip formation based on specific machining requirements, optimizing performance for multidirectional cutting tools, high-depth profiling, and combination tools (such as plunge-and-opening profiles). Additionally, the technology allows for circumferential chip breakers around the entire cutting edge while maintaining optimized rake angles—delivering smoother, more predictable chip evacuation.
Ideal for High-Performance Industries
Designed for automotive, aerospace, and medical manufacturing, these tools address critical challenges in precision machining. The laser-optimized geometries ensure consistent chip control, reducing tool wear and improving surface finishes—key factors in high-value component production.
Full Range of Advanced Tooling on Display
At AMB Stuttgart, Simtek will present a comprehensive lineup of grooving, longitudinal turning (face grooving), and boring tools featuring the new 3D-lasered technology. The exhibit will highlight how these innovations translate into real-world productivity gains across various machining operations.
A Sustainable Leap in Metalworking
By integrating laser precision into chip forming, Simtek offers manufacturers a more sustainable and cost-effective alternative to traditional tooling. The technology minimizes material waste, extends tool life, and enhances machining stability—reinventing chip management for modern industrial demands.
