About HIRSCH Technologies
HIRSCH Technologies is a supplier based in Eichstätt specialising in the development and manufacture of high-precision components, assemblies and innovative products. Its range of services extends from concept development and CAD design and FEM analysis through to the manufacture of precision parts, prototypes and small series using conventional and additive processes. The machining processes include CNC turning (4-axis), 3- and 5-axis milling, grinding, die sinking and wire EDM as well as laser and plasma cutting; in addition, the company offers additive manufacturing via SLA, FDM, SLS and SLM, tool and gauge making, sheet-metal and welded assemblies, heat treatment, surface finishing and assembly. Materials machined include high-alloy steels, duplex steels, nickel-based alloys such as Inconel, Invar and Monel, titanium, aluminium and various plastics. Customers are innovation and technology leaders from aerospace, defence, automotive, energy and environmental engineering, plant and mechanical engineering and medical technology, supplied throughout Europe. Production takes place at the headquarters at Industriestraße 14 in Eichstätt.
