Materials

Your Trusted Partner for Precision Machining of Advanced Materials

We specialize in the materials other shops struggle with — Kovar®, Permalloy, tungsten alloys, carbon fiber composites and high-performance plastics. When we can hold tolerances on these, aluminum, stainless steel and titanium become routine.

Advanced & Difficult-to-Machine Materials Core Specialty

Standard Engineering Metals — Also Routine

BrassC360 / CuZn36Pb3 · C464 / CuZn37
CopperC110 / Cu-ETP · C101 / Cu-OFE
TitaniumGrade 2 / 3.7035 · Grade 5 / Ti-6Al-4V / 3.7165

Most equipment manufacturers need both everyday metals and advanced materials in the same project. We machine the full range in-house — so you do not have to split your BOM between a standard shop and a specialty shop.

Quality & Inspection

In-House Metrology & Material Verification

Quality is verified, not promised. Our in-house inspection lab confirms both the dimensions and the material of every critical batch before it leaves the floor — backed by ISO 9001:2015.

Zeiss CMM Inspection

Dimensional verification on a Zeiss coordinate measuring machine — full inspection, tight-tolerance reporting and first-article inspection (FAI) for complex and 5-axis components.

Material Spectrometer

A benchtop raw-material spectrometer verifies the chemical composition of incoming stock against the specified grade and EN/DIN number — so the certificate matches the metal in your part.

Certificates & Traceability

Material certificates (EN 10204 3.1), dimensional inspection reports and full batch traceability for semiconductor, optical and high-reliability equipment.

More than a part vendor

Beyond Machining — Engineering Services

The support on-demand platforms do not offer. This is where a long-term manufacturing partner earns the relationship.

Special Materials Core

Specializing in Kovar®, Permalloy, tungsten alloys, carbon fiber composites and high-performance plastics that most platforms outsource or refuse.

Quality Rescue Unique

When a batch fails inspection, we re-inspect, find root cause, and rework or replace — including parts made by another supplier.

Factory Audit Support Unique

Material certifications, traceability and engineering evidence so you pass your customer's supplier audit.

Custom Packaging Unique

Labeled kits, batch-segregated packs, ESD-safe and cleanroom packaging for semiconductor and optical use.

Assembly & Turnkey Unique

Sub-component assembly and multi-part-number supply — one accountable partner instead of five.

Local EU Support DACH

Our German engineering office provides in-region repair, after-sales and audit support.

Why ProtoTech

A Manufacturing Partner, Not a Part Vendor

What changes when your supplier is built for your equipment program, not for quoting and shipping loose parts.

How we work

From Drawing to Delivered Part

A transparent, engineering-led process built for long-term supply programs — not one-off transactions.

1

Submit & Review

Send drawings and program context. Our engineers run a DFM review and flag tolerances, materials and risk before any cutting begins.

2

Quote & Material Plan

You receive a transparent quote plus a material-verification plan — grade, EN/DIN check and certificate strategy for your application.

3

Machine & Inspect

In-house precision machining, then Zeiss CMM dimensional inspection and spectrometer material verification on critical batches.

4

Deliver & Support

Kitted, ESD-safe or ISO Class 7 cleanroom packaging, with local engineering and after-sales support through our German partner.

FAQ

Questions Equipment Manufacturers Ask

Short answers to the questions our engineering partners ask most. Anything else — talk to an engineer.

Typically ±0.005 mm typical on 3-axis metal work and ±0.01 mm on non-metals and simultaneous 5-axis. Surface finish: Ra 0.2 µm on metals, ceramics and graphite — not on plastics. Every critical dimension is verified on our Zeiss CMM — not estimated.
Difficult-to-machine and advanced materials are our core specialty: Kovar®, Permalloy, tungsten alloys, carbon-fiber composites, PEEK, PVDF, PTFE, Invar and Monel/Inconel. Standard metals — aluminum, stainless, titanium, brass, copper — are routine.
Yes. We provide material certificates (EN 10204 3.1), dimensional inspection reports, batch traceability and engineering evidence so you pass your customer's supplier audit. Our German engineering office can join on-site audit meetings.
Prototype lead time is typically 5–10 working days, depending on material availability and inspection scope. Recurring production programs are scheduled after first-article approval.
This is our Quality Rescue service. We re-inspect, find the root cause, and rework or replace — including parts made by another supplier. You get a documented root-cause report, not a silent replacement.
Yes. Through our European engineering partner (Tubacon GmbH, Germany) we provide prototyping support, repair assistance, after-sales and on-site audit support — so when something fails, we are in the region, not across an ocean.
