meviy expands material portfolio for AI-assisted 3D manufacturing of CNC parts

The AI-based 3D manufacturing platform meviy, operated by Misumi, is expanding its offering for CNC-milled components to include high-strength tool steels, corrosion-resistant stainless steels, and conductive copper and brass alloys. In doing so, the service is responding directly to requirements from toolmaking, electronics manufacturing, general mechanical engineering and maritime applications, where users have often had to rely on external specialist suppliers.

In the field of tool steels, grades such as EN 1.1545 and EN 1.2510 equivalents as well as DC53 from Daido are now available. These materials are intended for highly stressed molds, dies and precise functional components that are exposed to cyclic thermal and mechanical loads. The portfolio is supplemented by a stainless steel equivalent to EN 1.4404, designed for environments with high corrosion exposure such as offshore structures, water treatment or sensor applications in chemical environments. In this way, meviy addresses a gap that standard grades such as EN 1.4301 could only partially fill in these scenarios.

In parallel, the platform is introducing automatic quotation calculation for copper and brass materials, including oxygen-free copper (EN CW004A), ETP copper (EN CW008A), standard brass (EN CW509L) and lead-reduced free-cutting brass (EN CW614N). These alloys are relevant for busbars, high-current connectors, high-performance heat sinks, precision fasteners and decorative CNC parts.

“With this expansion, meviy offers designers unprecedented freedom in selecting high-performance and conductive materials,” emphasizes Tobias Hemmann, Head of the Business Development Team. “They can now generate fully automated quotations within seconds, reduce manual coordination effort and focus on optimizing their designs instead of waiting for calculations. This is a real step forward in making complex procurement processes faster, more reliable and fully digital.”

Technically, the platform is based on a fully digitized process chain: after uploading the 3D data, an automated manufacturability analysis evaluates the design, after which the system generates prices and lead times. Production takes place within a defined manufacturing network with standardized quality processes and integration into Misumi’s logistics structures. For developers who combine additive and subtractive manufacturing, meviy thus becomes a building block for turning 3D models into robust components more quickly while gaining transparency on materials and costs in the procurement process.
