Clinkenbeard is the worldwide leader in the rapid production of complex cast and machined parts using a wide variety of plastics and metals. We couldn't find a word in the American dictionary which accurately defined the speed at which we do business, so we developed a prototype...Fasterestest. We think it fits perfectly.
Time to market is a critical measurement for today's OEM. It determines how efficient and effective manufacturers are in developing, implementing and producing ideas.
The Clinkenbeard® Toolingless Process is industry reknown for producing metal castings efficiently, affordably and extremely fast. The process is based on machining sand cores and molds without the expense of tooling. All machining is done using CNC, which produces superior speed and accuracy.
Clinkenbeard Expands with the Addition of A Sixth Five-Axis Vertical Milling Center
The new five-axis VMC has a working envelope of 45” X 35” X 25”. It will be used to make rapid machined castings and hogouts for a wide variety of metals. The new VMC provides extremely high production levels and quality, but within very competitive pricing structures.
Clinkenbeard® Process Reduces Leadtime for Military Cast Spare Parts from Six to Twelve Months to Six to Twelve Days
Robotic Machining Feasibility Study with Advanced Technology Institute and American Metalcasting Consortium results in Clinkenbeard®’s Patented Toolingless Process shattering standard leadtimes for United States Department of Defense manufacturing jobs.
