You’ve Perfected the Design – Don’t Compromise it
Bullen matches the machining technology, methods, and materials to create solutions to your most difficult challenges.
Conventional Machining
(Laser, EDM)
Higher Processing Costs
Lower Production Yield
Required Post-Machining Polishing to Relieve Stress & Slag
Common Processing Defects
Limited Feature Sizes Possible
Bullen Ultrasonic Machining
Lower Total Cost
Higher Production Yield
No Post-Processing Steps Required
Greater Design Reliability & Quality
More Feature Sizes Possible
You Deserve a Better Solution for your CMC Design
Preserve Material Reliability
The substrate material’s chemical and physical properties remain unchanged – non-thermal method results in no haz (heat affected zone) and little to no substrate damage
Expand Design Possibilities
Implement feature sizes not possible with laser machining on thicker substrates – micron-level accuracy widens the range of capabilities
Optimize Production
Eliminate inefficiencies that slow down production and increase the cost – trust in a faster and more cost-effective process
BULLEN CMC Capabilities
✓ Machined slots
✓ Round, square, and odd-shaped thru-holes and cavities
