Contour Fine Tooling celebrates its 40^th Anniversary this year. It is the only Global Diamond Tool Manufacturer with manufacturing sites in USA, The Netherlands, United Kingdom, Belgium, Japan, China and Brazil. Through these sites it is able to supply tools and services with a rapid response.

Contour has been leading the way with the latest “Cutting Edge” technology (literally) and producing single point diamond tools with sub-nanometre surface finish and controlled waviness to sub 20 nanometre. This year Contour hosted at its Innovation Center, the first of many customer workshops. Covering all aspects of mold manufacturer, from tooling, material processing, plating and testing, it was a great success.

Contour’s Innovation Center offers customers the opportunity to partner in process development, trouble shooting and tool development. The Diamond Machining centre and Metrology laboratory gives Contour the unique resource to test and develop new synthetic diamonds and assess their characteristics before recommending to customers.

Even during the pandemic Contour has been working with Universities and industrial partners in the development of FIB profiled tools.

Contour’s global presence ensures both large and small companies can be supplied swiftly and is resilient against challenges such as the pandemic. Contour remained open throughout the last two years. To all its customers Contour can integrate and offer smart data to help optimise customer processes and manage inventory.
