Services
CNC Machining
Our CNC machining services deliver high-precision components using advanced 3D 5-axis technology. We handle projects from prototyping to large batch production, working with metals and alloys to exact specifications. With CAD/CAM capabilities and clean room assembly options, we ensure dimensional accuracy and surface finish quality for industries requiring critical tolerances.
Precision Plating
Specialising in electroless nickel plating and anodising, we provide uniform coatings for corrosion resistance and wear protection. Our processes suit complex geometries and materials including steel, aluminium, and copper. With vacuum cleaning and testing facilities, we ensure coatings meet technical requirements for aerospace, medical, and industrial applications.
Laser Part Marking
We offer permanent laser marking solutions for identification and traceability on metals, plastics, and ceramics. Our technology handles flat surfaces and intricate 3D geometries with high precision. This non-contact process ensures durability for parts requiring serialization, branding, or regulatory compliance across multiple industries.
3D Printing
Our 3D printing services support prototyping and low-volume production with build capacities up to 300mm. We work with standard engineering materials and provide post-processing machining for critical dimensions. From concept models to functional components, we combine design assistance with precision manufacturing for rapid development cycles.
Prototype Design
We deliver end-to-end prototype design and manufacturing services, transforming concepts into functional models. Using CAD software and precision machining, we create prototypes for testing form, fit, and function. Our capabilities include vacuum casting and clean room assembly to support clients' R&D and production readiness requirements.
