One of the few things we know about the URWERK's new UR-110, which will be presented in January, is that it features an automatic winding system regulated by miniature air turbines. Here is how they are fabricated at UHRBAN, URWERK's sister company, in Zurich.

This cut-out sheet of metal is what is left after the milling of air turbines for the UR-110
A lot of space and metal is needed to enable the CNC milling tools to fabricate this complex three-dimensional component
And the end result (left) after cleaning and de-burring.
