When precision engineering serves design

meccanica di precisione

The concept of “design”, built on the axiom of “form and function”, is constantly refined for aesthetics and efficiency. The result? A harmony of elegant, functional forms. It is no coincidence that the best-known furniture brands compete on innovation by creating unique, iconic furnishings: load-bearing structures, bases, joints and components resulting from advanced design studies that combine arts and applied sciences, aimed at improving every aesthetic and technical aspect of the product, such as shape, colour, material, ergonomics, usability and function.

In this scenario, the precision machine shop offers its know-how to designers researching and developing new products. Traditional machining processes, such as turning and milling, create furniture components with clean, accurate lines and very high quality, especially when carried out on precision machine tools, or more precisely CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines.

Many metalworking companies across Italy offer these services; turning shops in Veneto, for example, stand out from one another in the specific services they offer, which can range from specialising in particular ferrous materials (from stainless steels to special, light and ultralight alloys) to making small parts in composite plastics (such as Teflon), or being qualified to turn components with dimensional tolerances of hundredths of a millimetre.

The furniture sector is constantly evolving and demands ever more complex products and components, with higher quality requirements and fast, reliable lead times; and this growing focus on high quality also constantly involves mechanical parts manufacturers. Aesthetics and precision, elegance and practicality, design and reliability: these are the inseparable qualities customers demand of our “2.0 blacksmiths“, careful in their craft as tradition requires, yet able to produce state-of-the-art design components. It is no accident that industrial design is the jewel in the crown of Made in Italy.
