Holdson, a UK-based electrochemical polishing machine tool supplier, has announced the launch of its flagship product, the Electroform machine.
Powered by a one-of-a-kind dynamic contour electrode and utilising machine learning algorithms, Holdson’s Electroform technology ensures optimal polishing for additively manufactured components.
These cutting-edge, patent-protected machines are designed to address the challenges of traditional mechanical polishing, offering significant cost savings and increased throughput while being more environmentally friendly.
Holdson’s Electroform machines operate up to six times faster than competitor machines, and their unique technology allows for superior control over material removal rates helping to achieve extremely precise surface finishes. Furthermore, the technology is protected by patents, ensuring Electroform’s competitive advantage in the marketplace.
The company’s commitment to sustainability has meant that the electroform machines have been developed to use recyclable consumables and electrolytes. This closed-loop system eliminates hazardous waste and reduces the risk of exposure to hazardous materials.
Developed with the medical, automotive, and aerospace industries in mind, Holdon’s Electroform series of machines act as a cost-effective and high-quality solution for post-processing metal components that have been additively manufactured.
Holdson has been developed over the past several years by a team of experts with decades of combined experience in materials technology, metallurgy, and precision engineering. The company’s team is dedicated to creating a sustainable and efficient manufacturing process that provides high-quality results for its clients.
Neil Dickinson, Chief Technology Officer at Holdson said: “We’re thrilled to finally launch Holdson and introduce our patented Electroform series machine to the market.
“Our machine is a game-changer for the manufacturing industry, providing a faster and more efficient solution for post-processing metal components. And with our focus on sustainability, we’re confident that we’re providing a responsible and effective solution for our clients.”
Holdson has already secured significant traction in the marketplace, with firm orders and commitments for multiple machines. Furthermore, the company has formed part of a major InnovateUK collaboration, showcasing the innovative and disruptive nature of its technology.
Chantelle Brandon Reeves, Senior Innovation & Growth Specialist at Innovate UK EDG said:“Innovate UK EDGE are proud to be supporting Holdson on its growth journey. The innovative business is poised for rapid growth in the coming years. We look forward to seeing what the future holds for this company, and are positive that Holdson’s revolutionary product offer can make a significant impact on the medical, aerospace, automotive, and energy sectors.”
Holdson is now accepting orders for the Electroform series machine, with delivery expected to begin later this year. With a commitment to sustainability and a focus on innovation, the company is poised to become a leader in the electrochemical polishing industry.
Robert Woollin, Industrial Engagement Manager at AMPI said: “I am thrilled to see Holdson launch their innovative Electroform machines, which have the potential to revolutionise the electrochemical polishing industry. AMPI looks forward to supporting Holdson’s growth through its UKRI Strength in Places Fund innovation programme and building a strong relationship over the coming months.”
