Services
Precision Machining
We offer CNC machining for complex components using vertical/horizontal sawing, surface/cylindrical grinding, and Wire EDM. Our climate-controlled facility ensures dimensional accuracy for aerospace and industrial test pieces. With 50 years' experience, we produce prototypes to 1000+ batch runs meeting ISO and ASTME standards.
Specimens Manufacturing
Specialists in machining mechanical test specimens with X hatch polish, super polish, or as-ground finishes. We process forged blanks, failed components, and custom geometries using the latest CAD/CAM systems. Clients benefit from our expert sectioning capabilities and collaboration with major research institutions.
Fast Make Machining
Our rapid response machining cell delivers prototypes and small batches using 4/5-axis mill-turn technology. Through SolidWorks and SolidCAM integration, we process RFQs swiftly from CAD models or drawings. This streamlines development cycles for clients requiring urgent component validation.
Engineering Solutions
We provide end-to-end engineering support from pre-order prototypes to final product optimization. Our team uses Alphacam and Solidworks to suggest design improvements, while our supply chain partnerships enable complete turnkey solutions including material procurement and heat treatment.
Inspection Services
Our CMM inspection and profile scanning services ensure compliance with critical tolerances. We conduct first-article, inter-operational, and final inspections covering dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and magnified visual checks. This one-stop approach prevents production delays from external testing requirements.
