By employing a press, a variety of shapes can be cut out and bent from a single plate of metal: from the parts that connect the lens and camera drives with each other to the vital sectors that guide light from the camera lens to the sensor. More than 1600 different gear parts are manufactured in-house at SIGMA in order to get the best quality for our products. This represents the pride we invest in our manufacturing.
