We engineer surfaces.
160 micron holes in stainless steel
Hoowaki has developed a breakthrough surface molding technology to unleash the engineering potential at the meso scale. We create surfaces with features in the meso scale, or 0.2 mm down to 1 micron. Millions of these features act together to provide wildly different surface properties than those of the bulk material. Our engineering is performed at a level below what the eye can see for performance far beyond your expectations.

Although bulk and molecular level properties are well known and engineered today into everyday man-made products, design potential has been neglected at the meso scale for commercial products. There is an equally large range of untapped design potential at the meso scale as at the bulk and molecular scales.
