Machinefabriek De Valk: engineering and 3D printing of metal parts
Machinefabriek De Valk in Valkenswaard does engineering and makes mechanical components. The company also produces metal parts by 3D printing.
From design to assembled part
De Valk’s components are made of metal or plastic. With more than twenty lathes and milling machines, the company machines the parts itself, and post-processing and assembly are also done in-house. Whatever must stay clean, De Valk assembles and packs in its own cleanroom. Its way of working is based on Quick Response Manufacturing (QRM), aimed at short lead times for prototypes and for small to medium-sized series.
Metal parts from the 3D printer
On its own MetalFAB1, an industrial metal 3D printer, De Valk makes complex parts in stainless steel or titanium. A print comes out of the machine raw, and the company does the finishing itself. De Valk also helps customers develop a product and its production process.
The company started in 1948 as a family factory working for local businesses. Today it has two assembly halls with a total floor area of 2,000 m² and customers throughout Europe, including in optics and the semiconductor industry.
Machinefabriek De Valk and Slagman Machining are sister companies within Anvil Industries.
