The World of Metal Products

The world of metal products

The metal products manufacturing industry plays a crucial role in modern manufacturing and engineering, serving as the backbone for various sectors, including automotive, aerospace, medical, and machinery. Metal parts are essential for the functionality and durability of countless products, ranging from tiny precision parts to large structural elements.

In safety-critical products, even the smallest defect can lead to catastrophic failures. That’s why comprehensive quality control is implemented throughout the entire manufacturing process, with a focus on core production steps.

As one example, quality is essential at every manufacturing step of a casting part, including molding, machining, and assembly processes: Beginning with software solutions for simulation validation, followed by raw cast inspection using X-ray and microscopy technologies. The process continues with production control via optical 3D scanners during CNC machining and concludes with finished part inspection using coordinate measuring machines. 

Manufacturing metal products

As technology progresses, the techniques for producing and inspecting casted parts are continually evolving. As the trusted partner of choice, ZEISS is enabling and driving the quality, productivity, and transformation of metal manufacturing companies.

When manufacturing metal products, every step matters - from the simulation to the final touch of mechanical processing.
