Services
CNC Machining
Our CNC machining capabilities include 2-axis turning to 0.002mm tolerances, 3-axis milling, and multi-axis machining for complex components. We handle small to high-volume batches with 'lights out' production efficiency. Using advanced machinery like the STAR SR-32J and HAAS MINI MILL, we work with polymers, ferrous metals, and exotic alloys to meet exacting specifications for medical, aerospace, and industrial applications.
3D Printing
Our 3D SLA printing service supports rapid prototyping for both in-house development and client designs. This technology enables quick iteration of complex geometries before full production runs. The process maintains dimensional accuracy while allowing material testing and functional validation. We integrate printed prototypes with traditional machining workflows to optimise final component performance and manufacturability for medical, automotive, and industrial applications.
Quality Assurance
Our ISO 9001:2015-certified quality system includes Vision Swift M3 video inspection with automated routines and traceable measurement tools. We maintain calibration standards across micrometers, callipers, and thread gauges to ensure compliance. This rigorous approach guarantees dimensional accuracy and process consistency for critical components used in medical, aerospace, and subsea environments where failure is not an option.
Design Consultancy
We provide expert consultancy on design for manufacturability, optimising component geometry for efficient machining. Our team uses CAD-CAM software to identify potential production challenges early in development. This service reduces costs and lead times while maintaining functional requirements. Clients benefit from our 30+ years of experience solving complex engineering problems across medical, aerospace, and industrial sectors.
Jigs & Fixtures
We design and manufacture custom jigs and fixtures to ensure repeatable precision in complex machining operations. These tools maintain tight tolerances during high-volume production runs. Our engineers optimise fixture designs for stability and accessibility while minimising setup times. This capability enhances overall process efficiency and quality consistency for components used in demanding applications across aerospace, automotive, and medical industries.
