Metalworking brass comes with its own challenges. The characteristics of brass make certain shapes difficult to manufacture – welding would lead to decolourisation, and extruding or die-casting would involve costly and lengthy die fabrication process.

Machining brass is one way to overcome these problems. At Kikukawa, we are able to accommodate the production of larger three-dimensional shapes in small lots.

From the 3D CAD design data, our machine metalworks brass pieces with high precision. The maximum workable size is 2500mm(W) x 3500mm(L) x 400mm(H), and the workable materials include aluminium, stainless steel, bronze alloys, and wood.

Solid brass bars are grand to fabricate 15 handrail pieces, each with differing three-dimensional curvature. The lack of welding on these pieces ensures a high-quality finish, precise joints, and a smooth curvature.
