About Schwarz Feinwerktechnik
Schwarz Feinwerktechnik GmbH is a contract manufacturer specialising in precision manufacturing, based in Engelsbrand in the Northern Black Forest. The company produces components and spare parts for stamping tool and mold making, including mold inserts, slides, tool plates, guide and cutting inserts as well as cutting and bending punches. The manufacturing processes include wire, sinker and start-hole EDM in the micro range, 3D and 5-axis simultaneous CNC milling including HSC milling, precision grinding and laser engraving. In addition, the company offers 3D tool design, metrology with optical and tactile inspection, and FDM 3D printing with plastic filaments. Production takes place in a fully climate-controlled manufacturing facility. Customers come from tool and mold making, mechanical engineering, stamping technology and production technology. In addition to manufacturing services, the company produces its own products such as vises, electrode holders and start-hole electrodes.
