For Bearings Industry

Split Roller Bearing Cages

Innovative designs that provide higher strength-to-weight ratios and lower friction.

Custom & Legacy Bearings

On-demand printing for obsolete or low-volume bearing types without substantial tooling expenses.

Prototype Bearings

New cage geometries and materials are rapidly developed and tested to optimise performance.

High-Temperature Applications

Components made from innovative polymers that can withstand harsh environments.

Digital Warehousing

Designs are stored digitally and produced as needed, lowering inventory costs and lead times.

Precision Mass Production

Produces consistent, high-quality output ideal for large-scale bearing component manufacturing.

Lightweight alternatives

Replacing typical metal cages with high-performance polymer solutions to reduce inertia.
