Voxel Innovations, an advanced manufacturing company specialising in pulsed electrochemical machining (PECM), has relocated to a larger, newly constructed facility in Knightdale, North Carolina, USA. The move, quadrupling its original floor space, will enable the company expand its material research, metrology, and production capabilities.

PECM is a unique non-thermal, non-contact material removal method utilising electrochemistry that is capable of creating small features and superfinished surfaces on metallic parts with high repeatability. The technology can be used as a post-processing method for metal additively manufactured parts.

Voxel Innovations was founded in 2015 in Raleigh, North Carolina, by its current CEO, Daniel Herrington. Voxel initially developed PECM as a response to engineers struggling to manufacture next-generation critical components for challenging environments that require tough-to-machine materials such as Inconel and refractory metal alloys.

Voxel has continuously improved the precision capabilities of its process, discovered proprietary methods to machine new materials, and developed fully automated PECM production lines. It reportedly machines millions of high-quality parts annually and is looking to continue this trend in its new facilities.

“Voxel’s growth into our new facility is an important milestone in our growth, allowing us to expand our capacity for both existing and new customers,” stated Herrington. “We are excited for this next chapter in Voxel’s story while also helping to grow the advanced manufacturing industry in the research triangle region of North Carolina.”
