About H+B Hightech
H+B Hightech GmbH is a metalworking company based in Adelmannsfelden and part of the Heine + Beisswenger Group, founded in 1901. The company manufactures complex metallic components and assemblies using state-of-the-art CNC-controlled turning and milling machines as well as 3D metal printing (laser powder bed fusion). Highly automated large-scale series production in line with Industry 4.0 enables an output of around 5 million parts per year, using approximately 10,000 t of raw material on 6,000 m² of production floor space. Manufacturing is complemented by technical engineering with design, reverse engineering and process simulation, by the automation of series production with robot cells, and by an in-house measuring and testing laboratory with materials analysis. Under the 3X3 product brand, the company also develops its own bicycle components such as gear hubs for e-bikes. Customers come, among others, from the automotive industry, the bicycle sector and facade construction.

Materials and Processes
CNC milling
Machining of all machinable materials up to highly automated large-scale series production.
(Hard) turning
Precision turning and hard turning of precision parts on state-of-the-art CNC machines.
Broaching
Machining process for precise internal and external contours on metallic components.
3D metal printing (laser powder bed fusion)
Tool-free production of complex, topology-optimized geometries from prototype to series.
Induction hardening
Partial and case hardening of components for increased wear resistance.
High-pressure deburring
Residue-free deburring of components, even in hard-to-reach areas.
Laser marking
Traceable marking of components within the process chain.
Assembly of assemblies
Assembly of complete assemblies up to the ready-to-install component.
Machinable materials
Many years of experience in machining all machinable materials.
Powder materials for 3D metal printing
Metal powders for the additive manufacturing of complex structures.
