Hubert Stüken GmbH & Co. KG, based in Rinteln, Lower Saxony, is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of deep-drawn precision metal parts and is particularly active in the medical technology, automotive, and electronics industries. At HANNOVER MESSE 2026, the company will showcase its expertise in forming technology as well as current developments in titanium processing and digitalization.

Efficient packaging solutions for dental implants

In the field of medical technology, STÜKEN is showcasing a new generation of deep-drawn standard titanium components for the packaging of dental implants. Until now, such sleeves were typically manufactured using machining processes—a material- and cost-intensive approach. STÜKEN MEDICAL has developed a more economical alternative for this purpose: An optimized deep-drawing process allows complex titanium components to be manufactured in high volumes while conserving resources. A modular design consisting of two pressed deep-drawn parts also enables different size variants and reduces manufacturing complexity. In addition to material savings, production capacities are also utilized more efficiently.

New Possibilities Through Titanium Deep-Drawing Technology

With the further development of titanium deep-drawing technology, STÜKEN is opening up additional application areas for this material. Due to its biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and strength, titanium is indispensable, particularly in medical technology; however, it has previously placed high demands on forming technology. The company has now established a process that makes multi-stage forming processes economically viable.

This now allows even complex geometries to be manufactured efficiently, such as for pacemaker housings or implant components. The offering is complemented by further processes such as surface finishing and manufacturing under cleanroom conditions in accordance with ISO 13485. The result is ready-to-use components meeting high quality standards.

Digital Support in Design and Tooling

Another focus of the trade show presentation is on digital solutions throughout the product development process. STÜKEN supports its customers with simulations based on the finite element method (FEM) to virtually test and optimize components as early as the initial development phases. These “virtual try-outs” enable well-founded conclusions regarding material selection, forming behavior, and component stress even before physical prototypes are created. This shortens development times and reduces time to market. The foundation for this is an extensive database built up over many years, as well as experience gained from numerous customer projects and in-house test series. By getting involved early in the development process, STÜKEN can work with its customers to implement efficient and cost-effective solutions—from design through to series production.
