ABOUT VOXEL
Voxel is among the only electrochemical machining vendors in North America, and is an innovator in pulsed electrochemical machining (PECM).
This advanced manufacturing process is unrivaled in its ability to quickly and accurately machine specialty metal alloys, without compromise to design complexity or quality.
These well-crafted metal alloys can be found in a variety of critical applications including orthopedic implants, surgical tools, jet engines, and industrial turbines.
We use PECM and related manufacturing technologies to supply critical, high-value parts to medical, aerospace, energy, and industrial customers.
OUR MISSION
Voxel Innovations seeks to be the authority on PECM, developing new electrochemical technologies and deploying those into a production environment.
We are humbly fascinated by PECM: we know and openly share its limitations, but we are driven to redefine those limits. This process augments the machining industry in critical ways, and we are eager to impart its benefits to a widening set of customers.
Our team is both knowledgeable and innovative, and we support them with a growth mindset that pervades our company culture. We experiment with new ideas and methods, go after the hard problems, and see them through until the end.
We engage our customers in real conversations starting early in the manufacturing process. Our focus on understanding the engineering and economic context of components empowers us to offer solutions that are tailored to our customer's core issues.
