What sets KLARM apart is its deep understanding of both mechanical and materials engineering, combined with its adaptability to emerging industries. In the context of solid-state batteries, this means the company is not just a supplier of machined parts–it is an active problem-solving partner. The transition from liquid to solid electrolytes introduces new mechanical and thermal behaviors. These must be addressed through precision manufacturing processes that control dimensions at the micron level, ensure uniform surface finishes, and support the use of novel materials, including ceramics, composite laminates, and high-purity metals. KLARM has responded by adapting its machining workflows to accommodate these materials, including developing proprietary tooling strategies and coolant systems that minimize contamination and maintain material integrity during the cutting process.

The solid-state battery industry is still in a formative stage, with design standards evolving rapidly and frequent iterations required to refine performance. KLARM’s capacity for rapid prototyping plays a key role in supporting battery innovators as they refine their architectures. With an agile approach to small-batch production and fast lead times, the company enables clients to move from concept to testable hardware in days, rather than weeks or months. This acceleration of the design loop is critical for startups and R&D teams competing in a fast-moving field where early progress can determine access to funding and strategic partnerships.

As solid-state battery modules increase in complexity and integration, the mechanical systems surrounding them must evolve in tandem. Battery casings, heat spreaders, terminal connectors, sensor housings, and interface brackets must now perform under stricter tolerances while also being more compact and lightweight. KLARM’s advanced machining capabilities enable the production of multi-functional parts that reduce assembly steps, minimize failure points, and improve overall system efficiency. With precision bores, tapped holes, thin-wall structures, and controlled surface roughness, the company’s parts directly contribute to better thermal management, improved electrical conductivity, and longer operational life in solid-state battery assemblies.

KLARM’s commitment to quality assurance is also central to its support of the solid-state battery industry. The company operates under a robust quality management system designed to meet or exceed the requirements of industries with zero-margin-for-error products. Its inspection lab is equipped with coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), optical comparators, laser scanners, and surface roughness testers to ensure that every part meets the demanding specifications associated with battery module integration. In addition, KLARM provides full traceability of materials and processes, an increasingly important requirement for customers focused on regulatory compliance and end-of-life recycling.

The expansion also includes targeted support for customers involved in battery pack assembly, thermal regulation systems, and safety mechanisms. KLARM is now machining components that serve as thermal isolation barriers, compressive force regulators, cooling plate mounts, and structural reinforcements within larger battery packs. With solid-state batteries having more sensitive thermal and mechanical profiles than their liquid counterparts, the importance of tight mechanical integration cannot be overstated. KLARM’s expertise ensures that these supporting components perform predictably and consistently, enhancing the overall safety and efficiency of the battery system.

In addition to physical component production, KLARM has strengthened its engineering consultancy services to help customers design for manufacturability (DFM) in the solid-state battery field. Through collaborative development efforts, the company advises on material selection, dimensional optimization, tolerance balancing, and cost-effective geometry–all while preserving the performance intent of the design. This proactive engagement helps customers avoid costly rework, reduce prototype cycles, and speed up the path to industrialization. It also allows for better alignment between design objectives and production realities–a critical factor when dealing with intricate and emerging technologies like SSBs.

From a sustainability perspective, KLARM’s expansion is also in line with global goals to reduce environmental impact through smarter energy systems. Solid-state batteries are viewed as a more sustainable alternative to conventional lithium-ion technologies due to their improved safety (which reduces waste from thermal events), potential for higher energy density (which reduces raw material usage per kWh), and better recyclability. KLARM supports this mission by implementing green manufacturing practices, including the use of recycled materials where appropriate, closed-loop coolant systems, and energy-efficient machining centers. By improving the mechanical robustness and reliability of solid-state batteries, KLARM contributes directly to the creation of longer-lasting, less wasteful energy storage solutions.
