Working with wire feedstock means our material options are pretty extensive. We can also produce multi-alloy components, which are ideal for bearings that might need targeted enhancements due to application conditions.
Production Process
Hybrid Manufacturing with Wire-Laser Metal Deposition (w-LMD)
Hybrid manufacturing is an advanced manufacturing method that combines additive and subtractive within the same system. At Hybrid CNC Parts, we use Haas CNCs with integrated w-LMD Meltio engines. It’s a fast and efficient method for producing precision components.
w-LMD is a direct energy deposition (DED) process that uses lasers to melt metal wire feedstock as it’s being deposited, building up components layer by layer. By using wire feedstock, your material choice options are abundant.
USE CASE
Custom bearings for nuclear reactors
Custom engineered and produced bearings for housing withing modern nuclear reactor refueling mechanisms, where typical operating conditions reach up to 500°F and expected temperatures reaching 1,000°F. Requirements included the need for bearings of high strength, high hardness, and corrosion resistance.
Inconel® 718 and Stellite® 6 were chosen for their high-temperature performance, and will retain their mechanical properties up to around 2,000°F.
The design was chosen to meet the need for a compact mechanism that could function under a high combined load.

Benefits of custom-made bearings
Meet exact requirements
Your requirements are unique and all the off-the-shelf bearings are not quite right. Maybe close, but it would mean adjusting the project to make them work. Custom bearings can be made to suit your exact requirements, no matter how niche. Not sure where to start? We can help. Contact us to get started.
Overcome spatial limitations
In some applications that can be little choice for shaft and housing dimensions, like in spacecraft where there isn’t much room to spread out, or geothermal wells where every inch of the drilled borehole is important. Being able to design bearings around other mechanical requirements is a critical consideration.
Supply chain reliability
While some bearings are limited in their production depending on the availability of raw materials, all of our bearings are produced using readily available metal wire feedstock, equating to more reliable lead times.
Improved efficiency
Faster production cycles using hybrid manufacturing due to rapid prototyping, quick design iteration, and lack of extensive tool changes. It also produces less material waste compared to subtractive-only methods.
Industry applications
Industries across the board utilize custom bearings in order to meet requirements for specialized sizing, operating conditions, and levels of precision.
Examples of various industrial requirements and applications include:
| Industry | Requirements | Applications |
|---|---|---|
| Aerospace | High temperatures, high precision, unconventional lubrication methods. | Components in turbine engines, fuel pumps, and control systems. |
| Energy | High temperatures, corrosive and abrasive environments. | Rotary drills, submersible pumps, valves, compressors, turbines, gear train components. |
| Automotive | High speeds, high temperatures, minimal friction and noise. | Turbochargers, EV drive trains, wheel hubs. |
| Industrial Machinery | High loads, temperature with abrasion, corrosion, wear resistance. | Gearboxes, injection and blow molds, material conveyors. |
| Medical | Precision motion control, bio-compatible materials. | Surgical instruments, infusion pumps. |
