Dental implants, electronic components, watch movements, micro ball bearings – miniaturization is omnipresent.

Initially reserved for the engines and airframes of military reconnaissance aircraft, titanium has long since become an integral part of our everyday lives thanks to its outstanding properties.

Mi-Tech Tooling, Inc., a cutting insert expert for the oil and gas industry in the USA, and the coating experts from CemeCon, Inc. in Horseheads, N.Y. have been working together for many years.

Silicon (silicon dioxide) is literally a dime a dozen. The earth’s crust consists of about 25.8 percent silicon by mass.

Miniaturization is setting trends – from dental implants to electronic components and clockworks to micro ball bearings.
