Expansion of Heat Treatment Services by Meviy

The cutting processing platform, Meviy, developed by Misumi Group, is set to enhance its services starting January 31, 2026. In response to the rapidly evolving needs of engineers, Meviy will broaden its heat treatment offerings for cutting parts (also known as angular materials) to include complex shapes such as curves, which were previously challenging to process. This expansion now allows for grinding operations and surface roughness specifications of Ra0.8, catering to the intricate requirements of modern design. Additionally, Meviy will now offer a discount on longer delivery times, enabling customers to procure heat-treated parts at a 30% lower price when selecting extended lead times.

This service enhancement aims to provide much-needed flexibility and affordability in the acquisition of heat-treated components, addressing the growing market demand for both high-precision and complex parts. These parts are crucial for various applications, including robotic systems, transportation devices, and automobile components, where enhanced hardness and wear resistance are necessary to achieve optimal performance and longevity. The introduction of competitive pricing options for heat treatment reflects Meviy’s commitment to making complex manufacturing accessible and affordable.

Background of Heat Treatment

Heat treatment is an essential thermal processing technique applied to metallic components to impart high hardness and wear resistance. It plays a pivotal role in the design of parts subjected to harsh environments, especially those in direct contact with workpieces or those that undergo repetitive loading conditions. The presence or absence of heat treatment can significantly influence performance and durability.

Since its inception on May 12, 2025, Meviy has been revolutionizing services in the cutting processing industry by consistently upgrading its offerings. Following its initial launch, which offered a shorter lead time for parts, Meviy has proven successfully to ship heat-treated cutting parts within as little as six days. Customers have voiced their appreciation for this increased convenience, while also expressing a desire for immediate delivery options for complex shapes that are prone to distortion or require high precision.

In response, Meviy will now handle the additional complexities brought by curves within heat-treated components and grind processing. Meeting customer specifications for surface roughness allows for superior finish quality, further enhancing customer satisfaction.

In conjunction with these updates, Meviy's discounted delivery option means that customers can select longer delivery times to address budget constraints without sacrificing quality. This move allows for diversified procurement strategies in tandem with the demanding landscape of modern manufacturing.
