We know more about designing friction than anyone!

Micro surface technology:

Hoowaki has a library of several hundred micro pattern designs to solve a wide range of problems. Our surfaces are never sticky, never noisy, never painful and never use chemicals

The invisible, mechanical shapes of the micro surfaces replace chemistry allowing elimination of coatings and lubricants and permitting low cost materials to replace expensive materials. We use 5-axis micro precision CNC milling, EDM, laser, electroforming and other techniques to add the surfaces.

We have extensive capabilities for modeling, design and engineering for micro surfaces. We have a well equipped laboratory for friction testing as well as prototyping capabilities to take your product from imagination to reality.

With over 50 patents, Hoowaki has pioneered the research in this field.

We have developed micro-indentation theory to better predict and design high friction surfaces.
