Faustson Tool Corp., a leader in five-axis manufacturing technology, is expanding its reach and adding to the capabilities it offers clients. "Our goal is to help maintain and extend the lead Colorado has established in high-tech manufacturing and precision machining. The company continues to push manufacturing in Colorado ahead through the adoption of new technology and its involvement with industry organizations and innovative partnerships," said a company spokesperson.
"This spring Faustson was named by Ball Aerospace as its Platinum Supplier of the Year; and was nominated and selected as a finalist and Top 100 company in the state by the 2014 Colorado Companies to Watch awards program," said the spokesperson.
"Faustson's motto, 'We accept your challenge,' puts Faustson's ability to manufacture and deliver anything the imagination can create front and center. An exciting new development for the company is the addition of 3D metal printing in 2014."
3D metal printing utilizes a variety of powdered metals and alloys to create complex, high-quality products from 3D CAD data. This new technology is designed to deliver high precision and reduce design cycle times, and can create products that cannot otherwise be made using traditional machining techniques. Adding 3D metal printing brings a variety of new capabilities to Faustson and Colorado to better serve clients locally and worldwide.
Faustson President Alicia Svaldi has been appointed to both the Colorado Advanced Manufacturing Alliance (CAMA) and Manufacturer's Edge (formerly Colorado Association for Manufacturing Technology/CAMT) boards, and she is encouraged by the developments taking place within the industry in Colorado. The company has been able to streamline its workflow with a recent partnership with Manufacturer's Edge, freeing up time on its machines to satisfy a higher volume of client needs and allowing the Faustson team to focus on new developments.
Faustson Vice President Heidi Hostetter sits on the Advanced Industries Accelerator (AIA) board for the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade (COEDIT).
Faustson is also working with a variety of academic, state, industry and manufacturing entities to help create a 3D printing curriculum for higher education in Colorado.
Faustson Tool, in the machining industry, provides services for clients worldwide in medical, aerospace, aeronautics, defense, semiconductor and other industries. The company, founded in 1982, provides 3-, 4- and 5-axis milling and 5-axis EDM services, as well as turning capabilities for cutting-edge custom part production. It will add 3D metal printing capabilities this year. Faustson Tool is a woman-owned-and-operated small business.
