Absolutely. InstaVoxel supports both prototype and low-volume production for Tungsten components, with engineering support during design evaluation.
Yes. Tungsten’s low vapor pressure and thermal stability make it well-suited for high-vacuum and semiconductor processing applications.
Typical CNC milling and turning tolerances are around ±0.01 mm, depending on part geometry and feature size. Critical features are reviewed case-by-case.
Yes. Tungsten is extremely hard and brittle at room temperature, making it challenging to machine. Specialized tooling, conservative cutting strategies, and stress-controlled processes are required to prevent cracking or chipping.
Pure Tungsten is used in extreme-temperature and high-density applications such as aerospace counterweights, semiconductor ion implantation components, and high-temperature furnace hardware.
Typical CNC milling and turning tolerances of ±0.005 mm are achievable, with tighter control applied to sealing and mating surfaces.
Yes. Kovar is commonly nickel- or gold-plated and has good weldability, making it suitable for hermetic and vacuum-sealed assemblies.
Kovar is machinable but prone to work hardening. Proper cutting parameters and stress-aware machining sequences are essential to maintain dimensional stability.
Unlike stainless steel, Kovar has a controlled coefficient of thermal expansion that closely matches glass and alumina ceramics, reducing stress during thermal cycling.
Kovar is widely used for hermetic sealing applications where thermal expansion compatibility with glass or ceramics is critical, such as electronic packages and photonic assemblies.
Typically 1–3 weeks depending on part complexity. Prototypes may be delivered faster.
Light polishing is possible, though they are typically used in functional or non-cosmetic applications.
