Polytech-lab is a center that inherits the tradition of three generations of designers and manufacturers. Our vocation is to provide the theoretical and practical tools for the conception, engineering, implementation and testing of projects ranging from precision mechanics, component technology, industrial design, to architecture and visual arts. The experience gained in the field of traditional construction techniques is combined with a continuous process of research and experimentation aimed at innovative digital design and manufacturing technologies, while an ever-expanding network of partners allows for the organic management of the complex of different phases necessary for the materialization of the project. Indeed, the laboratory provides a network of knowledge embedded in the most important manufacturing realities of the market, matured over decades of fruitful and systematic collaboration. An overall vision of the methodological and pragmatic landscape in the field of drawing and design, together with a layered knowledge of traditional and digital fabrication techniques, passing through a genuine creative flair in the formulation of strategies and the realization of the equipment necessary for the industrialization of the project, are the factors that make Polytech-lab the ideal place to develop and realize your ideas.

We, Metallbau Schmalenbach, specialize in manufacturing a wide variety of high-quality and tasteful stainless steel and corten steel accessories. Years of experience in working with metal products, experienced know-how and the gift for exceptional design give our products uniqueness. The focus is on narrowing down to the essentials. In a charmingly flooded world, peace and relaxation are important to us. Simplicity is the goal and with it the uniqueness of our products. In addition to our wide range of products, we also offer you the opportunity to have your ideas implemented. We offer you custom-made custom-made products. You are welcome to visit us at Linienstr.14 in 42289 Wuppertal.

1. Deep technical understanding: We understand machines, tools and materials down to the last detail. Whether milling, turning, 3 or 5-axis machining — we understand the processes, know what is technically feasible, and find solutions for complex requirements. 2. High precision & quality awareness: Years of work in the CNC sector have trained us to comply with even the smallest tolerances. We do not simply work “from drawing”, but with a trained eye for quality and dimensional accuracy. 3. Experience with different materials: Whether aluminum, stainless steel, plastic or titanium — we know how different materials behave and how to process them economically and efficiently. 4. Efficiency & optimization: We recognize potential for optimising set-up times, processing strategies and tool paths. Our knowledge saves time, costs — and increases productivity. 5. Dealing with CAD/CAM systems: We worked with programs such as SolidCAM, Mastercam, Fusion 360, Siemens NX or Heidenhain — 6. Reliability & independence: CNC manufacturing is about responsibility — we have proven over the years that we work independently, meet deadlines and think along with us. 7. Problem solving skills: When a tool breaks, a dimension doesn't fit, or a program causes problems, we find pragmatic solutions — often directly on the machine. 8. Teamwork & transfer of knowledge: I have often passed on my know-how to colleagues or trainees and can work in a team in a calm and solution-oriented manner even in stressful situations.
